System Public Challenge

About the challenge

System is a Public Benefit Corporation building knowledge infrastructure to help solve complex challenges in the world. Our first open-science offering, the System Public Graph [BETA], is a living and open map of scientific knowledge, containing millions of quantitative relationships drawn from peer-reviewed research across disciplines, and updated regularly with new findings.

We're now hosting our first public hackathon, the System Public Challenge, in November at our headquarters in NYC. Our goal is to foster compelling applications of the Public Graph to real problems affecting science and society — and to take the first step in cultivating a global community of systems thinkers working across the boundaries between disciplines.

Challenges for the hackathon are listed here.

Timeline and Agenda

Note: Registration, team formation and challenge briefs will run here on Devpost, opening about three weeks before the event. Teams can explore the graph and scope their projects in advance, then come together on Saturday to finish, present and compete. System staff and mentors will be on hand throughout for technical and domain support.
