Communities co-producing new solutions to meet Covid-19 challenges through a hackathon in Germany
The “WirVersusVirus” hackathon was a large-scale event in 2021, which was supported by the German government and involved professionals and citizens co-designing new solutions to meet Covid-19 challenges. This case study shows how the “WirVersusVirus” hackathon put co-production into practice, based on the project OpenFoodBank, which was one of the most successful co-production initiatives resulting from the German hackathon.
