NCCR Automation took part in its first Hackathon, the 2021 Energy Data Hackdays, where we proposed a challenge, gained experience with the open innovation culture and inspiration for our moon-shoot project.
The NCCR Automation is a large-scale research network funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation. John Lygeros, director of the program, explains why such an effort is needed and what the more than 40 researchers are working on.
