The DataFest is a student competition for data analysis ("hackathon") in which bachelor and master students of all disciplines can participate. In teams of 2-5 people, you will analyze a large and complex data set over a weekend with the aim of gaining the best insights.
The DataFest offers you the opportunity to analyze data with your own creative ideas, get in touch with experts from industry and academia, and compete with other students for prizes, fame, and honor. Food and drinks will be provided throughout the weekend!
