About

Eurekathon is a competition organized by LTPlabs, Porto Business School and NOS that addresses societal issues associated with sustainable development goals. In its 1st edition, taking place in November 2019, you are challenged to develop concrete and creative solutions that contribute to healthy lives and well-being for all.


You will work side-by-side with like-minded data scientists and business analysts, in a team of 4 to 5 members. All teams will have access to a diversity of data sources, both private and public, that can be leveraged to build analyses, models and tools. At the end of the event, a jury will assess the potential impact, the novelty and the analytical depth of the work developed by the teams.
