HackTheBook: Redefining the book concept

Gazzetta team 5 Νοεμβρίου 2015 - 13:12

The Onassis Cultural Centre, in collaboration with the Europeana Space Network, invites designers, artists, publishers, programmers, authors, poets, hackers and entrepreneurs to a marathon which will redefine the book.

The marathon will revolve around programming, design and entrepreneurial innovation.

The book is redefined by focusing on four different parameters-challenges. Each team participating in Hackathon’s final stage is asked to address each and every one of these parameters: BookDesign, OpenHardware, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), Entrepreneurship and Sustainability.

The process of redefining the book demands an interdisciplinary set of skills as well as the ability to be a team player. One can participate as an individual, create a team or join an existing team.

Registration will be open until 16 December 2015, at 12:00. The selected teams will have a chance to participate in the HackersWorkshop, training day on 9 January 2016 in order to further elaborate their concepts.
