IMC 2026 Hackathon! You can be a hero - use Internet measurement data to solve real-world challenges!
Measurement Lab proposes to hold a hackathon in partnership with Internet measurement groups: Columbia University, Internet Society, UNICEF Giga, IIJ Research Laboratory, Internet Intelligence Lab; IODA, to examine critical challenges in connectivity and Internet measurement at scale. Over the last four years, M-Lab has hosted in collaboration with other groups hackathons on the sidelines of IMC to provide space for capacity building, education, and networking.
Each Internet measurement group will provide a list of challenges as well as a list of open-ended questions to participants to help solve Internet measurement challenges on a global platform. We will also invite other open Internet measurement organizations to participate if accepted.
