Yes. It is not mandatory to have a team formed in order to participate. You will have a chance to form a team virtually up until the start of the Datathon.

However, we advise you to register on the Datathon as soon as possible in order to review the cases and start communicating with other participants in order to form your team.

Your team’s solutions will be evaluated according to several criteria - statistical indicators, resourcefulness of the solution and creativity of visualization.

You can use the output data and other information provided to you in regard to solving the chosen case only during the duration of the event. You must not use those for personal or commercial purposes outside the event format and activities. With the registration for the Datathon, you agree to also provide your work (analysis, methodology, source code, etc) to the organizers for them to publish on the event page.

After purchasing a ticket, you will receive an email with instructions on where and how to register on the Datathon website and start forming your team.

You will submit your work as an article when the 48 hours of the challenge are over. After an evaluation, a list of finalists will be selected. The selected teams will present their cases via Hangouts.

If you already have obtained a ticket via Eventbrite, you will receive an email with instructions on how to register on the Datathon platform. Please register and start browsing the cases and other registered participants. You will be able to form a team with ease once you have chosen a case to work on.

We also advise you to take a look at the profiles of other participants and start using the chat room(s) for the case(s) that you find interesting. This is a good way to find other experts that would like to work on the same case.
