The SHRINEs project is pleased to announce the upcoming “Tech for SHRINEs” Hackathon, scheduled for the end of November. This event represents a key initiative in our effort to advance the security and resilience of places of worship across Europe. Following a competitive selection process, the innovators who will participate in this exciting challenge have now been chosen, and the event has entered its critical organizational phase.
The Hackathon will gather a group of professionals from different backgrounds, including technology, security, and cultural heritage. Their common goal will be on developing innovative solutions to enhance the protection of sacred spaces. These sites, rich in cultural and historical significance, face unique security challenges that require both creativity and technical expertise to address. Over the course of the event, participants will collaborate to create new solutions aimed at safeguarding these important landmarks while preserving their heritage value.
The selected innovators represent a broad spectrum of expertise and their participation promises a wealth of innovative approaches to the complex task of securing sacred spaces. With the teams now finalized, the focus shifts to the practical preparation of the Hackathon event, ensuring a stimulating and collaborative environment that encourages both innovation and technological outcomes.
As we approach the November event, the SHRINEs team is dedicated to deliver a Hackathon that not only fosters cross-sector collaboration, but also generates tangible solutions to the security challenges facing places of worship. We are excited to see the creative and technological breakthroughs that will emerge from this unique initiative.
