UN AIS Hackathon

The United Nations Statistics Division (UNCTAD) and UN Global Pulse are jointly organizing a virtual Hackathon using Automated Information Systems (AIS) vessel tracking data. The event’s goal is to quickly utilize this data to support official statistics in monitoring the social and economic impact of COVID-19 and to assist the world in its fight against climate change by generating a surge of creative researchers to come up with equally creative ways to use the data!
