The second edition of the Cyprus Open Data Hackathon will take place on 15-16 September 2018 in Limassol at ARIS (A Really Inspiring Space). The competition targets computer programmers, analysts, designers, communication and marketing experts, students, as well as everyone else who is passionate about programming and is interested in developing an application using Public Open Data.

This second edition of the Open Data Hackathon is co-organized by Deloitte, the Public Administration and Personnel Department (PAPD) of the Ministry of Finance and Hack Cyprus, in order to showcase and encourage the useful exploitation and reuse of the open data available through the Open Data Portal.

The PAPD, in collaboration with the Open University of Cyprus have in fact, recently launched a revamped Open Data portal offering users the opportunity to submit their open data applications, to search for existing data and request new data.
