The ReInHerit European project team has announced the opening of entries for the upcoming ReInHerit Smart Tourism Hackathon.

According to a statement from the organisers, the event has been designed to encourage creativity, collaboration and the celebration of different perspectives. It will take place over the weekend of 20-21 January at the CYENS Centre of Excellence building.

The Hackathon is a unique opportunity for technology enthusiasts and those interested and passionate about heritage and museums and aims to bring together individuals to capture ideas and create innovative solutions about the way we experience museums and heritage sites, the organisers note.

Introductory online mentoring workshops on idea submission, business planning and app development will be held between 8 and 19 January, where experienced mentors will provide guidance and support, with the times and dates of the workshops expected to be announced soon on the competition website.

The objective of the participants is to develop an App Prototype, a Business Idea or a Game Prototype that connects technology to museums or cultural heritage sites, enhances the visitor experience, and educates about the content of the museum, the history of its objects and the processes surrounding museums and cultural spaces.

The event will also offer participants opportunities to network and meet like-minded individuals and professionals, to enhance and develop problem-solving and teamwork skills, as well as an opportunity to highlight diversity, and will recognise and award the best solutions with prizes totalling €4,000.

To participate in the ReInherit Smart Tourism Hackathon, interested parties can visit the competition page https://reinherithackathon.cyens.org.cy/, while early registration is encouraged as space is limited, the organiser's statement concludes.
