UCL Technology Society is proud to host the AI For The Common Good Hackathon sponsored by Microsoft, in partnership with UCL Computer Science, X5GON, United Nations ANCSSC, British Embassy Paris, and the UK Science and Innovation Network. Over the 2 days, you will be in teams of 3 and your team will be challenged to build an app or other implementation of an idea that creatively uses AI techniques and other technologies to tackle one or more of the 17 United Nations Sustainability Goals. At this event you will have unprecedented access to major companies with recruiting interest (Microsoft, Cisco, NTT Data, IBM, and the NHS), the United Nations and charity organisations, and a chance to win a range of highly attractive prizes.

Grand Prize

The 3 teams with the best hacks will win a fully sponsored 2 day trip to Paris to present their hack to a wider audience including the UN and a range of major companies and charity organisations. This trip includes a banquet dinner with the British Embassy and a second exclusive hackathon in Paris with other top international universities to further develop the hack.
