FAQ

Before you apply.

Do I need a clinical or technical background?

No specific background is required. Solo clinicians and solo engineers are both welcome. Teams are curated for a clinical/technical mix, so come ready to pair up fast if you apply alone.

Can I apply solo or do I need a team?

Both work. Apply solo and we'll help match you into a balanced team, or apply as a formed team of 2–4.

Can I take part remotely?

Yes. Primary prizes are awarded to on-site teams only, but as an official partner event of the EU AI Innovation Month, remote teams can join the Community Track, pitch online via livestream, and win community prizes.

What can I win?

€15,000+ in cash and credits across the three on-site tracks, plus community prizes for the Community Track and a possible spot on the follow-on Venture Track.

Do I have to be an AIM member to apply?

No. The hackathon is open to students, clinicians, and engineers from any background. AIM membership is optional and free to join separately.

How can my company get involved?

Track Partners bring a real use case and a dedicated prize pool; Supporting and Strategic tiers are available too. See the partner section above.
