EC2U Makeathon “Re-invent the Future”:
  • 24-hour hybrid event
  • Seven local Makeathon events + and one virtual European event
  • Teams develop creative solutions for the challenges of our time

The Makeathon promotes collaboration between local and European actors who share the same goal: solving urgent societal challenges and promoting progress and change.

The challenges focus on four areas:

  • Wellbeing & Happiness
  • Diversity & Inclusion
  • Nature & Sustainability
  • Peace & Democracy

A Makeathon is an interactive event in which participants work together to develop creative solutions within a specific timeframe. The main goal of our Makeathon is to showcase the innovative capacity of both the European Alliance and the individual participating universities and cities, while encouraging the development and implementation of ideas that contribute to a better future.

Do you have an idea for a challenge and are looking for solutions or would you like to take part and implement creative ideas?

Then take part in the EC2U Makeathon on May 6 and 7, 2024!
