What is a Datathon?
What is a Datathon?
A datathon is an intense 3-day workshop that challenges researchers to turn data and information into knowledge. The datathon format is modeled after hackathons, which are focused on software development. The difference is that datathons use research questions and datasets to advance knowledge, not to develop applications.
At a datathon, participants work in teams to frame research questions, create and implement a research design, mobilize data resources and work usually for 2-3 days.
At the end, each team presents their findings in front of a panel of judges.

What happens at a Datathon?
During the Datathon-2020, the participants will break up into teams to work together during the sessions. Each team will define a research problem and a goal taken from the list of suggested topics (see below) or one of their own design. They will use the provided resources (see below) and possibly tools and approaches that they provide to work for the 3 days and make as much progress as possible.
In the afternoon of the third (Nov 20), each team will give a 15-20 minute presentation on their project and any conclusions they have reached. Members of the Organizing Committee will serve as judges and prizes will be given.
