Rules are important to run a safe and fair hackathon!


Please read the full set of rules in our Rules of Contest. In addition to that document, refer to the additional rules below:

  • ✔️ Eligibility criteria. You must live in the European Union (any country) or in a non-EU country associated with Horizon Europe (or in ongoing negotiations for an association) and be 18 years or older to participate in the hackathon competition. If participating in-person at the Belgium Hackathon, you must be an EU citizen. All teams must have at least 3 team members and can go up to a maximum of 8 members.
  • 💻 Fresh code only. To ensure a level field for all contestants, all code must be created by the team, during the Hackathon Weekend. But you are permitted to use publicly available or openly licensed APIs, SDKs, frameworks and other software libraries for your project. Any software development tools and/or programming language can be used.
  • 🤲 Everyone is welcome. We welcome all participants regardless of race, creed, colour, ethnicity, nationality, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression, age, physical appearance, body size, disability, or marital status.
  • 💜 Be nice to each other. We are dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of race, creed, colour, ethnicity, nationality, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression, age, physical appearance, body size, disability, or marital status. We do not tolerate harassment on our platforms in any form. 
  • ⛔ Use your time and energy to innovate for good, not to make the world a worse place. Activities promoting or related to alcohol, tobacco, religion, politics, intolerance, violence, firearms, pornography, obscenity, gambling, or illegal drugs are explicitly excluded from the hackathon. Just don't. Sexual language and imagery are not appropriate on our platforms.
