Clean Energy Hack

EIT Climate-KIC Nordic

The Clean Energy Hack combines city challenges with people who are passionate about solving them. In the process they lay the ground for large-scale, positive climate impact. Hackathon participants will work on innovative solutions with support and input from decision makers and experts in relevant fields. 
We invite students, young professionals and experts within sustainable urban planning, energy transitions, renewables and other related fields to come together for three incredible days comprising an intensive collaborative hackathon, a Sustainable Urban Solutions conference and an ActionLab. Real, concrete challenges by international cities like Singapore and New York will be presented and worked upon throughout the days. 
<H3>Clean Energy Hack Programme</H3>
The Clean Energy Hack will consist of the following days:
<H4>22 May: A 12-hour hackathon at DTU SkyLab</H4>
The Clean Energy Hack is a  fast-paced innovation process that brings together cities’ climate challenges with top talent with the passion and ability to solve them. The goal is to find real solutions to real problems. For 12 hours participants collaborate intensively on challenges such as the future of mobility, circular economy needs and local air quality strategies.
After a full day of ideation, work and collaboration on city challenges from around the world, the teams present their solutions before a panel of influential decision makers and city representatives.
<H4>23 May: Selected groups will pitch at the <A HREF="http://www.climate-kic.org/events/sustainable-urban-solutions-conference/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Sustainable Urban Solutions</A> conference in Copenhagen</H4>
At the Sustainable Urban Solutions Conference, in Copenhagen, 400 international guests meet with leading Nordic and global cities, and partners, to explore sustainable solutions.
The conference will provide a highly relevant platform for action-oriented collaboration that attracts Nordic and international partners via showcasing leading Nordic urban solutions and facilitating co-creation of solutions to city challenges. Participants will hear inspiring keynotes and have the opportunity to directly engage with key city representatives in 10-12 parallel workshops where cities will present concrete challenges.
<H4>24 May: ActionLab at Aalborg University's Copenhagen Campus. </H4>
The ActionLab is a full day programme dedicated to scaling the impact of the hackathon solutions.  All participating groups from the Clean Energy Hack are invited to an intensive day of elaborating on their ideas. This way, the impact of all the students’ ideas are taken a level further, when they spend a whole day improving their ideas in collaboration with domain experts within climate impact assessment, business modelling, public acceptance and further.
By the end of the day, the groups are invited to share their progress in an informal setting at the closing reception.
