Turku Citizen Dashboard Hackathon – How to communicate and visualize open data

Attention, data visualisation enthusiasts and experts! At SHIFT 2020 Kick-off, the City of Turku launched a hackathon challenge of how to visualize open data. 

The goal of the City of Turku is to gain a strong sense of what kind of information is needed, valuable, and meaningful to its citizens, companies, and other operators. Also, they want to know what kinds of data combinations would be useful to the citizens. They may not even know they need it, yet!

The top three pitches will be awarded at the SHIFT Main Event on 27 October. The winner of the challenge will receive a price of 10 000 €. Second and third places will be granted with 4 000 € and 1 000 € respectively.
