Eestech Challenge

The EESTech Challenge (EESTEC Technological Challenge) is a European student competition organised by EESTEC on a specialised topic in EECS. The first edition of the EESTech Challenge was held in 2017 and the competition has been held ever since. The Challenge has two phases, the Local Rounds and the Final Round. In the first phase, universities of the EESTEC's network all over Europe organise independent hackathons, lasting 12 to 24 hours, with teams of 3, on the same topic, under the umbrella of the EESTech Challenge. The winning team of each Local Round compete in the big European Final, the Final Round, a 24-hour hackathon organised in a different European university of the EESTEC's network every year. Our hackathons involve an average of 500 participants from 16 European universities, including TU Munich, ETH Zurich, Politecnico di Milano, RWTH Aachen, and Universidad Politécnica de Madrid.
