    <p><wbr><br>Are you a student passionate about climate, space technology, sustainability, or innovation? Join <strong>Water from Space</strong>, a three-day hackathon where you will get the chance to apply your skills to real-world water and climate challenges and create new ideas with potential for further development.</p>
<p>Over three intensive days, you will work in multidisciplinary teams, gain insights from leading experts, and explore how space technology and other data-driven tools can help address water-related climate challenges.</p>
<p>The hackathon ends with final pitch presentations at ‘The National Climate Summit 2026’ at the Klimatorium in Lemvig. This is a unique opportunity to showcase your ideas in front of experts and decision-makers while experiencing one of Denmark’s leading climate events.</p>
