Hacking Culture: a guide

A hackathon is not a one-size-fits-all format that suits every purpose. It can bring insights, inspiration and ideas. But its success depends on you.

Based on the experience with organizing six hackathons in the Europeana Space project and the pre-existing experience with project partners, we created a how to guide, exploring the use of hackathons in the cultural sector and helping you to get started with organising one yourself. This publication intends to share the lessons we learnt for the realization of a successful event. It is available under a Creative Commons license (Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike).
