What is inside
A practical, field-tested resource built from real hackathons and innovation programs. Concrete templates, checklists and examples you can copy and adapt, not just theory. Everything is written to be used by a small team the same week you download it.
Who it is for
Program managers, innovation leads, teaching staff, community organisers and anyone about to run their first structured hackathon or open innovation call. Useful whether you work inside a university, a government agency, a company or an independent community.
How to use it
Skim it once end to end, then use the sections as reference during planning. Steal the checklists, adapt the agenda to your time budget, and lean on the evaluation rubric so judging feels fair. Bring the questions to your kickoff meeting with sponsors and partners.
