Education Ink: Can we teach students to write with a gamification approach, help students experience math in a new way, or discover new ways of collaborating with Interactive Whiteboards and tablets?
Ink for Extended Reality (XR): How can we augment the world with Ink? Don’t be held back by the physical world - take your imagination and Ink into your own reality.

The third edition of the EU Datathon has been officially launched on 28 January 2019 by the Publications Office of the European Union, in partnership with the Romanian Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
The EU Datathon is a growing-in-popularity event aiming to further stimulate the use of open data issued by the European Union. It allows competitors to showcase their data skills and innovative ideas. Furthermore, it offers them the opportunity to network and gather support in order to continue developing their ideas after the competition.
The challenges
Participants are invited to develop apps and interactive visualisations offering new services or public information insights to citizens, public authorities and businesses. They have to use at least one dataset made available by the EU Institutions, Agencies and other bodes and combine it with at least one dataset of the competition’s partners. The participating teams can compete with their apps in one horizontal or two thematic challenges:
Challenge 1: ‘Innovative ideas through EU open data’
Challenge 2: ‘New insights into economics and finance’
Challenge 3: ‘Tackling climate change’
The prizes
The competition is supported by the European Parliament’s Preparatory Action “Linked Open Data in the European Public Administration” and the European Commission ISA² programme (Interoperability solutions for public administrations, businesses and citizen). Joining the 2019 competition gives the opportunity to win one of the cash prizes in each challenge:
1st prize EUR 15.000
2nd prize EUR 7.000
3rd prize EUR 3.000
