HackTheBook: A marathon on redefining the book concept

The marathon will revolve around programming, design and entrepreneurial innovation

The Onassis Cultural Centre in collaboration with the Europeana Space Network, invites designers, artists, publishers, programmers, authors, poets, hackers and entrepreneurs to a marathon which will redefine the book.

The marathon will revolve around programming, design and entrepreneurial innovation.

The process of redefining the book demands an interdisciplinary set of skills as well as the ability to be a team player. This is why it is recommended to those interested in participating to form teams with people from different backgrounds such as design, content curation, book art, creative programming and business modelling, so as to collaborate and come up with projects that transcend all known borders.

However, those interested in the Hackathon can register as an individual, create a team or join an existing team.

Each team participating in Hackathon’s final stage is asked to address each and every one of these parameters: BookDesign, OpenHardware, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), Entrepreneurship and Sustainability.

Registration will be open until 16 December 2015, at 12:00.
