Organiser's description:
Passionate about sustainability? Want to learn more about Hestia (University of Oxford) and see how we can benefit the LCA community? Join us at the HESTIA Hackathon in Barcelona on 7th-8th September 2024, and help us to make a difference!
HESTIA aims to increase the accuracy and consistency of environmental data about food products, so that farmers, businesses, and researchers can understand and reduce the sector's environmental impacts. All data are free, open-source, and open-access.
At the Hackathon, we'll work on projects like:
- Converting HESTIA data to your own software or datasets.
- Adding new indicators for environmental impacts.
- Structuring datasets into HESTIA format and running LCA calculations.
- Extracting, interpreting, and analysing data.
- Enhancing API documentation.
- Debugging code.
- Improving connectivity with other databases like ecoinvent.
Limited physical attendance (50 people), with virtual option available.
Cost: £200 / €230 (to cover the venue and meals).
