THE HEALTHCARE

FAQ

The dominant language will be English, as the hackathon is open to everyone and aims to be accessible to as many hackers as possible. Of course, you can also exchange ideas in other languages. However, the pitches of your developed solutions must be in English.

Ideally, your team should include designers, developers and people with medical or healthcare-specific expertise. However, this is not a mandatory requirement for participation in the hackathon.

Participation in the hackathon is on a “one team” basis, i.e. hackers can only work in one team and cannot be members of several teams.

If necessary for the successful completion of the challenge, we reserve the right to expand or reduce the size of the teams before the hackathon begins.

Please bring a laptop, charger, and adapter to the event. All other materials will be provided.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to stay overnight at the event location. If you have a long journey, we will be happy to help you find suitable accommodation. Costs for an overnight stay in Erlangen must be borne by the participants themselves.

Catering is provided on all days of the event. You can expect a varied buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as snacks and drinks for free (all-inclusive). Of course, we also offer a choice of vegan/vegetarian dishes. If you suffer from certain food intolerances, please let the organizer know in good time so that the catering can be adjusted accordingly.
