FacMed Hackathon #1Digital Phenotyping of Mental Health

Sponsor

This hackathon runs on institutional support. Sponsorship pays for the room, the food, the prizes and the coaching that gets fifty people to the point where they can build something real in a weekend.

Why support it

  • You reach fifty of the most capable Master’s and PhD students in Geneva neuroscience and clinical research, working for two days on problems you care about.
  • The outputs are real: prototypes, validated pipelines, and project outlines that go on to SNSF, Horizon Europe and philanthropic submissions.
  • It seeds the digital phenotyping facility at Campus Biotech with actual users and actual problems, rather than a launch event.
  • Final presentations are public and attended by philanthropic funders — your support is visible where it matters.
A mixed group of students, researchers and clinicians gathered together after the event.

What sponsorship covers

  • Venue and technical setup at Campus Biotech
  • Catering across the two days
  • The CHF 500 vouchers for the strongest needs submitted during the summer campaign
  • Preparatory coaching workshops — vibe coding, digital phenotyping, grant writing
  • Post-event grant coaching with the UNIGE Research & Grants Office

What we offer in return

We would rather build a package around what is useful to you than publish fixed tiers. Visibility on the site and in the room, presence at the final presentations, involvement in shaping a challenge, and early sight of the projects that come out of it are all on the table. Tell us what matters and we will put something concrete in writing.

Talk to us

Write to the organisers with a line about your organisation and what you are interested in. We will come back with a proposal.

Funding, compute or cloud credits, prizes, catering, a mentor for a team, or simply a conversation first — all of it is useful.
