The CLiCAM Hackathon – Innovation Challenge: From Research to Impact has come to an exciting conclusion! Over the past two days, seven international teams worked both on-site in Piešťany and online, collaborating well into the evening to transform innovative research ideas into promising Horizon Europe project concepts.

Then, the teams were putting the finishing touches on their pitch presentations and finalized project abstracts, which will be evaluated by our expert jury. We are looking forward to seeing which ideas demonstrate the strongest potential for further development and future impact. A special congratulations also goes to our ERA Talents, who have successfully completed the Innovation Leadership Programme. Their commitment, creativity, and teamwork throughout the programme have been truly inspiring.

Thank you to all participants, mentors, and experts for making this hackathon a dynamic environment for collaboration, innovation, and knowledge exchange.

We can't wait to announce the winning concepts!
