On April 24-26, the European Commission was hosting a pan-European hackathon that aimed to find innovative solutions by bringing together creative minds and problem-solvers from, among others, IT, Health, Business, Social & Political Cohesion and Education.
With their great expertise in Global Health, research and education, EUGLOH members committed as an official partner of the #EUvsVirus Hackathon and participated with 33 followers and participants, seven teams as well as various experts.
