Hatathon 4.0: Ukraine Heritage Edition is in response to the challenges of the war and ignites an innovative spirit to preserve Ukrainian culture. We considered our Space4CC solution to be a good match for these challenges and teamed up with the National Observatory of Athens to participate. With around 1300 participants forming more than 100 teams, we were proud that our team came in as number 12.
Space4CC and our collaborators at National Observatory of Athens are joining forces again to particpate in the Hatathon 2023. What on Earth is an hatathon? Hatathon is a wordplay, using the word hata which means house in Ukrainian. It is an online creative and technical marathon, where participants work from home.

Space4CC is one of the Best Ideas winners of the MyEUSpace competition. We were represented with a booth and received a prize at the EU Agency for the Space Programme EUSPA's Entrepreneurship days in Prague 27-28 June 2023. As a consequence Space4CC is now one of the so-called rising stars start-ups identified by EUSPA. A team consisting of our collaborators from the National Observatory of Athens and Space4CC team, a first demo of concepts and services was created and shown at our Space4CC booth.
Space4CC has established a collaboration with the National Observatory of Athens. We are joining our complementary resources benefiting from synergies across projects and networks with a long term horizon. First action already done is to make a mock-up of the Space4CC idea for a holistic decision support tool that includes integrating both space-based, in-situ and citizen-generated information. The National Observatory of Athens highly skilled and created development team is applying their experience with creating their air quality app as a basis for this first mock-up. This mock-up will be presented at the EUSPA – EU Agency for the space programme [...]
