​Our First European Defense Tech Hackathon Focused on OSINT and FIMI

​Join 100+ participants from across Europe and beyond at the European Defense Tech Hackathon on November 6–8, 2026 — co-organized with the dtec.bw project “Media for Peace (M4P)” at the University of the Bundeswehr Munich

​The event will run through our EDTH event platform — apply directly here to find the agenda, challenges, and team formation: https://events.eurodefense.tech/edth-uni-bw-munich

​For six years, M4P has researched how information is used as a weapon in conflict, known as Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI), and what can be built to counter it.

​Start with the Showcase: On Friday, November 6, M4P presents its findings at its final Showcase, from 9 am to 5 pm. The day includes a hands-on prototype expo, a science slam and a live information crisis simulation. The hackathon starts right after. Register for the Showcase here: https://luma.com/j0i2z3mx

​The hackathon takes on the same problems. If you work on open-source intelligence (OSINT), information operations or counter-disinformation, this is the one to come to!

​You get 48 hours, mentors from the Bundeswehr (German Federal Armed Forces), and researchers from across the Munich ecosystem who will tell you whether your idea and prototype hold up.
