Hackathon within the Super-Test-Site Project

Hackathon within the Super-Test-Site Project

April 30, 2026

What happens when researchers and developers sit down together to explore a multidisciplinary urban dataset? Our researchers from the EORC joined a hackathon that took place within the Super-Test-Site Project, organised by Prof. Dr. Gunther Gust from the Chair of Business Informatics and Artificial Intelligence in Enterprises (JMU Würzburg), and joined by developers from FIS-ASP.

 

The Super-Test-Site Group has collected a remarkable range of data across urban Würzburg: from soundscapes and well-being surveys to detailed physical measurements of the urban structure. The goal of the hackathon was to explore how these diverse datasets can be integrated and what kind of insights can actually be extracted from them.

 

Different perspectives from a multitude of disciplines made for a productive and creative day. We experimented with combining datasets and got a first sense of both the opportunities and the challenges that come with such heterogeneous data.

The results will feed directly into our future work, and we’re looking forward to building on what we started together.
