February 28 Rare Disease Day – II. Rare Hackathon Program

Are you ready for the Rare Hackathon?

Let’s meet at the Rare Hackathon on February 28, Rare Disease Day! At this event, students from health and life sciences will work to find solutions for rare cases, learning about rare diseases while competing for prizes.

⚠️ Important note: The Rare Hackathon program will consist of two parts:

In the morning program (9:30-13:00), only the staff and students who will compete in the Hackathon will meet at IBG Aziz Sancar Auditorium and work on solving the cases.

In the afternoon (13:00-15:30), in an open session where everyone is invited, student groups will present their solutions to the cases and the winning groups will be awarded.

See you at the II. Rare Hackathon on Saturday at the IBG Aziz Sancar Auditorium!
