<P><SPAN>DRHack is a 20 hour Hackathon focused on Research, hosted at the University of Nottingham from the same organisers as HackNotts. 2018 marks the first time we're running DRHack. Join us for a weekend of hacking and fun in the stunning Jubilee Campus.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN>But what is going to happen at the event?</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN>Over the 20 hours, people aged 18 and older with a wide range of skill levels (you don't have to be a professional or a student! Just be lovely, passionate and interested in tech!) will come together to share ideas, and create new and awesome projects! (Not sure what a hackathon is? MLH have a great explanation <A HREF="https://mlh.io/college-administrator-hackathon-guide" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</A>). There'll also be fun minigames, challenges and free food/drink to make sure you have the best time possible.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN>Innovating Research</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN>Fitting with the theme of Digital Research Week, multiple researchers from the University of Nottingham will present their research and provide you with real-world data for you to use in your hack. However, if you have your own idea, you are welcome to present it.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN>What should I bring?</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN>Apart from yourself, you will also need to bring laptops, chargers and some spare clothes if you want to sleep. However, if you do not have a laptop to bring, desktop PCs are available at the venue. We can guarantee they're accessible to University of Nottingham students. However, we cannot guarantee they'll work for non-University of Nottingham students.</SPAN></P>
