Registration is open HUM data lab hackathonbringing together humanities researchers, students, developers, designers, and anyone interested in experimenting with cultural and research data in a collaborative, hands-on format.
The hackathon will take place on April 17-19 in Estonian Literary Museum (Vanemuise 42, Tartu). Over the course of the weekend, 6–8 teams will work with selected humanities datasets to develop prototypes, new perspectives, and exploratory use cases. The goal is not a polished final product, but learning, experimentation, and demonstrating what becomes possible when data is actively explored.
