Amsterdam Policy Hackathon
A new hackathon focused on interdisciplinary, data-driven policymaking.
About
The Amsterdam Policy Hackathon (APH) is a newly founded hackathon event in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. During this 2.5 days competition event, students and young professionals form multidisciplinary teams to develop data-informed policies and/ or policy tools to help with solving the most pressing societal issues in Amsterdam or the Netherlands more broadly. The challenges are provided by both government and industry stakeholders. At the core, the event champions research and policy development at the interdisciplinary intersection between technology and society. The event is inspired by the MIT Policy Hackathon, which is a similar competition held annually at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston, US.
What Our Participants Say
Our first Amsterdam Policy Hackathon was a tremendous success! Here’s what participants had to say about their experience. View more testimonials on LinkedIn.
Joining this hackathon was both fun and valuable. For me, the best part was experimenting with ideas, meeting new people, and testing skills in a fast-paced setting. (...) As the founder of a health tech consultancy company, I loved seeing how students approach innovation in healthcare and AI.”
Participating in the first Amsterdam Policy Hackathon was an exciting and rewarding experience. Even though I did not rely heavily on my technical skills, I actively used reasoning, creativity, and problem-solving throughout the competition.”
