The Mediterranean Youth Water Hackathon is for young innovators aged 18 to 35 to collaborate and create game-changing solutions addressing the challenges and opportunities within the Water, Energy, Food, and Ecosystems (WEFE) Nexus.
The hackathon will take place over three days in Fes, Morocco, dedicated to creating sustainable solutions with lasting social and environmental impacts. Include structured training sessions, periods of intensive group work, peer exchange, mentor guidance, and opportunities for team-building activities.
A panel of jurors will select the three most promising ideas. The first-place team will be awarded 3,000 EUR, and the two runner-up teams will receive 1,000 EUR each. The conditions will be communicated during the training and will be based on need, team performance, and validation of the pilot project.
The WEFE (Water, Energy, Food and Ecosystems) Nexus is an approach that recognises the interdependence and interconnectedness of these three sectors. For example, energy production often requires water for cooling or hydroelectric power, while food production is heavily reliant on both water and energy for irrigation, processing, and transportation.
