Between the 7-8th of November 2019, 45 technical and EO community members met in Frascati, Italy for the H2020 EO Big Data Hackathon. As one of the five EU-funded projects that jointly organised the hackathon (BETTER, CANDELA, EOPEN, OpenEO, EO-LEARN), BETTER was also responsible for the main coordination of the event. The Hackathon included sessions covering all 5 projects, where participants could interact and have a hands-on experience with the projects’ results.
