SUMMARY:Join the MEDAIGENCY AI4PURPOSE Hackathons: Unlock AI’s Potential for a Stronger Mediterranean Against Crises
DESCRIPTION:AI is taking over\, and so are you! \nHealth systems across the Mediterranean continue to face challenges when responding to crises\, from natural hazards to public health emergencies. More often than not\, these systems are not adequately prepared for these emergencies. unstable infrastructure\, delays in coordination and lack of timely information often put communities at risk. \nTo help address these gaps\, MEDAIGENCY\, co-funded by the EU under the Interreg NEXT MED Programme\, is a transnational initiative implemented in Lebanon\, Palestine\, Türkiye\, Italy\, and Spain\, and is working to develop and adapt AI solutions that reinforce health system resilience during emergencies. \nWhat is the AI4PURPOSE Transnational Hackathon? \nAs part of MEDAIGENCY’s needs-assessment and technology-matchmaking activities\, each partner country is hosting a local hackathon to identify promising ideas that can be adapted and scaled across the region. The hackathons are organized by project partners in Lebanon\, Italy\, Palestine and Türkiye\, bringing together students and technology providers to explore how AI can help health systems better prepare for\, respond to\, and recover from crises. \nAI4Purpose Hackathon is an opportunity to: \n\nDevelop transnational AI interventions tailored to real emergency system needs.\nCollaborate with stakeholders across 5 partner countries.\nCompete for an opportunity to co-develop one of MEDAIGENCY’s AI-powered solutions.\n\nRegister now on the links below: \nAI4PURPOSE – Lebanon: https://forms.gle/rbd7VaQFGPghFmZz6.
