About the hackathon
This autumn, Transparency International and Random Hacks of Kindness (RHoK) are organising a series of Hackathons in cooperation with several of our chapters from different regions to promote, scale up and integrate innovative and sustainable Information and Communications Technology solutions in the fight against corruption.
Organising these events, we aim to challenge anti-corruption and technology experts to work together and create innovative solutions to corruption challenges.
How can you help?
How can mobile technologies help us in monitoring elections across the world? How can we visualise and structure our research data to engage more people? How can we analyse public data through smart engines, or link databases to shed light on the misuse of public funds? How can we make e-solutions to prove the competitiveness of ethical business behaviour? Technology alone is not the solution – but it is an essential tool in the worldwide fight against corruption, and one with a potentially tremendous impact. To harness its potential power, we need to act now.
- Do you see a corruption problem that technology could help resolve?
- Do you have an idea for a mash-up that would demonstrate corruption in a new and exciting way?
- Are you a coder looking for a chance to put your talents toward stopping the abuse of entrusted power?
Join us by suggesting problems or by providing your technical expertise in our upcoming global hackathon.
