QuakeHack 2025: The First Statistical Seismology Hackathon

We are thrilled to announce QuakeHack, the first statistical seismology hackathon for early-career scientists!

From May 4th to 9th, 2025 in Castasegna (Switzerland), QuakeHack will bring together early-career scientists, including PhD students, with diverse backgrounds to work in groups on unsolved high-risk, high-impact questions in statistical seismology.

This event is different from most workshops: the participants will define the projects at the beginning of the hackathon. Therefore, applicants will be asked to describe what they contribute to the event (in terms of ideas, hard and soft skills, datasets, research questions, codes, etc). This is the most important selection criterion for our limited workshop spots.

Applications are open until the end of January 2025. For more information, please visit quakehack.ethz.ch or contact us at quakehack@sed.ethz.ch.

Please share this with early-career scientists in your network. We look forward to receiving many applications!

Significantly yours,
the QuakeHack organising team: Aron Mirwald, Leila Mizrahi, Marta Han, Vanille Ritz
