2e Water tech hackathon “Water and the city”

The 2019 WATER TECH HACKATHON – 36 HOURS CHRON’EAU will be held simultaneously in Montpellier, Barcelona and on Reunion island. The event organized by the Universities of Montpellier, Barcelona and Reunion Island, will bring together a wide range of partners including academic institutions (KIM MUSE WATERS, IM2E, IMT Mines Alès, IUT La Réunion), institutional players (Montpellier Méditerranée Métropole, AD’OCC, Technopole La Réunion) and the business world (Pôle Aqua-Valley, Veolia). This year, the event will focus on the theme “Water and the city,” since these two are closely linked. Hydrological risk (droughts, flooding), exacerbated by climate change, has an impact on urban planning and activities as well as on aquatic environments.
