Europeana will organise a series of hackathons to showcase the potential of the API usage for data providers, partners and end-users. The hackathons are informal workshops bringing together competent and enthusiastic software developers to build cool projects within a day or two (sketches, prototypes, even working applications).

Europeana and partner institutions are organising simultaneous hackathons in 4 European countries (UK, Sweden, Poland, Spain) in the week 6 - 11 June 2011
