Space Apps Challenge global virtual hackathon 30-31 May is being launched by 
NASA, ESA, and JAXA to develop COVID-19 solutions. For the first time, the 
hackathon will offer an opportunity to use open-source data generated by these 
three space agencies:

Participants from around the world will create teams in chat rooms which - 
during a 48-hour period - will use Earth observation data to come up with 
solutions to COVID-19-related challenges ranging from studying the coronavirus 
that causes COVID-19 and its spread to the impact the disease is having on the 
Earth system.

The 4 themes of the Global hackathon are:

  *   Learning about the virus and its spread using space-based data;
  *   Local response/change and solution;
  *   Impacts of COVID-19 on the Earth System / Earth system response;
  *   Economic opportunity, impact, and recovery during and following COVID-19.


Volunteers to act as subject-matter experts are invited (deadline 15 May):
