💫 EU Civic Tech Hackathon — Brussels, 22–23 June 2026

If you work in civic tech or digital democracy, this one is for you.

The European Commission is hosting a 48-hour hackathon in Brussels as part of the European Democracy Shield initiative, right before the High-Level Event on Democracy on June 24.

Selected participants will:
→ Work in teams to build functional prototypes of digital tools for democratic participation
→ Get mentorship from technical, policy, and legal experts
→ Shape the challenge definition — not just respond to it
→ Have the potential for further EU-level support or development

🚨Applications close June 5.

Candidates are assessed on their experience in civic tech within the EU. Accepted participants will be invited to a preparatory webinar before the event.

This is an opportunity to bring open, participatory approaches into a major EU democratic governance conversation.

🌍 What kind of technological future are we building?

As technological power becomes increasingly concentrated and the global geopolitical landscape shifts, the need for democratic digital infrastructures has never been greater.
