Challenge¶
Title¶
Strategic Radar x+12 - Open Data for Prospective Environmental Analysis and Strategic Resilience Indicators
Short summary¶
The challenge aims to create an automated, data-driven approach to prospective environmental analysis with a time horizon of about 10 to 15 years. Publicly available data sources from statistics, geodata, climate, natural hazards, energy, mobility, politics, regulation, news, and studies should be integrated, structured, and visualized to make trends, resilience indicators, and weak signals visible.
Hackathon target state¶
The hackathon should not deliver a full platform. It should deliver a focused MVP with a clear technical line:
- connect relevant public data sources
- combine data in a shared model
- present indicators and evidence in a traceable way
- provide an initial usable view for analysis and discussion
What the challenge is meant to solve¶
| Aspect | Expectation |
|---|---|
| Time horizon | approx. 10 to 15 years |
| Data basis | exclusively publicly available data and documents |
| Result | working prototype instead of a full platform |
| Focus | trend observation, resilience indicators, weak signals |
| Transparency | clear source references and documented data flows |
Expected impact¶
The challenge addresses the gap between scattered open data, unstructured signals, and the practical need to observe developments consistently over longer time horizons. A strong result therefore provides not just visualization, but also reliable traceability.
Guiding idea
Build a small but robust end-to-end solution: four well-documented sources with strong structure are more valuable than a broad but unstable collection without an evidence chain.
Explicitly out of scope¶
- no complete strategic analysis platform
- no use of internal, operational, or classified data
- no focus on maximum data volume without a robust data model
- no black-box outputs without visible source grounding
