Hackathon Announcement

Big news and announcements about the DEI4SME Hackathons!

We would like to invite you to join our two hackathons on managing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the context of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

The hackathons will take place in February and March 2025 and will be organised in a hybrid format, so your team can join locally in Finland or Lithuania - or from anywhere in the world! Both events are free of charge. Upon completion, you will get a certificate of participation and there will be prizes for the winning teams.

The dates are fixed and registration is open!
