Amsterdam Circularity Hackathon

​The Amsterdam Policy Hackathon is back. No coding required. Just curiosity, a willingness to collaborate, and a weekend to spare.

​Join our 48-hour hackathon where students and young professionals form multidisciplinary teams to tackle real Amsterdam’s circularity challenges offered by our partners: AMS Institute, AEB Amsterdam, Plastic Soup Foundation, and Taste Before You Waste.

​In our last edition, 80+ participants, and one of the winning proposals is now being developed further with the partner organisation. That is what tangible impact looks like!

​Who should join?

​Challenge open to students and young professionals. No coding or policy expertise needed, and you don’t need an idea beforehand. Just be curious, collaborative, and ready to dedicate a weekend to something that matters.

​Pick the challenge that fits your skills and interests:

• ​Designing circular business models

• ​Helping a volunteer-run food waste foundation become financially sustainable

• ​Tackling non-sustainable everyday behaviors

​Join with a team or come alone!

• ​If you have a team in mind, write their names below. Every teammate must register independently.

• ​If you are flying solo, no worries, you will have time to connect and find a team during the event.

​Free Pass for CRCL Fest

​As a participant, you can get your free pass here to CRCL Fest, a one-day event on Friday 20 November where you will meet circular startup founders, live performances and cool workshops.
