Climate and Mobility Datathon Starts on the World Habitat Day
This year, on the World Habitat Day, we will focus on one of the main sustainability issue in cities, “mobility”. As the level of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere reaches a historic high, the world’s temperature has risen to a level that will lead to climate crisis through floods, droughts, fires, and storms. It is now inevitable for global problems to rely on data-based solutions at the local level. As a contribution to this effort, together with the IBB Data Laboratory, we are organizing the Climate and Mobility Datathon between October 2nd and October 14th, 2023. With the aim of developing data-driven project ideas from all over Turkey, 120 participants will work on projects with the guidance of 20 mentors and strive to find a solution. The event will include workshops, seminars, and presentations, and will conclude with an awards ceremony on Saturday, October 14th, 2023, at the IBB Data Laboratory. Mentorship will be provided to implement the awarded projects.
