#hackathons — Public Fediverse posts

🌍✨ #nextGEMS is coming to an end – but our journey has only just begun.

After four incredible years, the Horizon 2020 Next Generation Earth Modelling Systems project is wrapping up. Together, we set out to make kilometre-scale global #ClimateSimulations a reality — and we did it.

💡 None of this would have been possible without our extraordinary community:

▪️ Scientists from across the globe, pushing the boundaries of climate #modelling.
▪️ Industry and policy stakeholders, helping us connect our science to real-world needs.
▪️ Our organisational team, keeping everything on track.
▪️ LATEST THINKING (lt.org) and all the talented #ScienceCommunicators and visual creators who helped share our story.

From Hamburg to Madrid, our #hackathons became so much more than coding sessions — they were spaces to #collaborate, to socialise, to co-create, and to inspire each other.

We are deeply grateful for the friendships made, the knowledge shared, and the breakthroughs achieved. And we’re excited to watch, in the years ahead, how nextGEMS will continue to shape #ClimateScience, #adaptation planning, and the digital twins of the future.

💪 Let’s keep building on this momentum. Let’s keep working together — across disciplines, sectors, and borders — to tackle the challenges of our changing climate.

🧠 How Hackathons Build Better #ClimateResearch Communities – A New #PolicyBrief

Our final #nextGEMS Policy Brief is here—and it brings a fresh perspective: “Building User Communities around Next-Generation Earth System Models.”

While our first brief focused on bridging science and society, this one looks inward: How do we design research projects that foster #collaboration, creativity, and real-world #impact 

Drawing on experiences from the series of nextGEMS #hackathons, the brief shows how these spaces:

- Enable peer learning across disciplines and expertise levels
- Spark new scientific collaborations and networks
- Offer #CoCreation formats that build trust and shared ownership of climate model development

🏛️ Aimed at the EU’s research and innovation community—especially those who design, fund, or manage large projects—this brief offers practical recommendations:

- Embed collaborative events into project design
- Create intentional structures that support long-term #community-building
- Focus on the societal relevance of scientific outputs from day one

These insights go beyond nextGEMS: they speak to the future of climate research itself.

🌍 “What makes #nextGEMS unique is its inclusivity.”

For Dragana Bojovic (BSC), that means more than diversity—it’s about building a space where climate scientists, social scientists, communication experts, early-career researchers, and professors work side-by-side to create knowledge with society, not just for it.

In our new video, “Thriving on collaboration, openness, and the co-creation of knowledge for a better future”, Dragana shares how nextGEMS fostered inclusivity through:

⬛ #Hackathons – from hands-on climate data exploration to society-oriented workshops on themes like the energy transition
⬛ #SocialNetworkAnalysis – studying how collaborations form and evolve during these events
⬛ #Storyline co-creation – bringing ministries, renewable energy reps, and scientists together to design climate-resilient futures
⬛ #ScienceExplainers & #PolicyBriefs – translating research into action
 
The result? A vibrant, interdisciplinary community that Dragana hopes will thrive well beyond the project’s lifetime.

As some of you might already know, #hackathons are a vital part of the development and application of the #climatemodels used in the #nextGEMS project. 💎

We've launched a new section on our website, consolidating information about the importance of hackathons and past hacking events, which you can easily access via this link: https://nextgems-h2020.eu/hackathon/ 🌐

Sometimes, a great #hackathon opportunity comes up. In a place and with people I like. Say, the "All-Stars" (past participants/winners, long-time tech people, inc. friends) #StartupWeekend in #Nantes 🇫🇷, this WE. #swna
Then I remind myself: I don't like running on less than 8h of sleep and working on the WE anymore, it usually misses down- / me-times, it is fully unmasked because "COVID is over". 🤷‍♂️
What are the #better, #healthier, #quieter #hackathons you heard of, attended, organized?
