Radio Hack Europe 2019

About

Radio Hack Europe by Radiodays Europe is an open development and prototyping event around the theme “Radio and media of tomorrow”, which is intended for anyone interested in shaping the future of radio in Europe.

For its third edition, this 48-hour spin-off event from the Radiodays Europe conference, will take place from Friday evening 29 March 2019 (warm-up and team building) to Sunday afternoon 31 March 2019 (pitching and jury voting), at École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), one of Europe's most famous science and technology institutions, which is located in Lausanne on the shores of Lake Geneva. Participation is open to media professionals, entrepreneurs, researchers, students, and anyone who has a keen interest in new media and technology. This includes broadcasters, journalists, content producers, manufactures, service providers, designers, and software developers.

The ideas and prototypes that will be developed during the hackathon will be evaluated by an international jury of experts, and the winners will have the opportunity to present their work to the participants of the main Radiodays Europe conference on 2 April 2019 (see program below for details).
