AI Hackathon 2026

Why this hackathon
Solve real world problems with today's resources to make our future brighter.
The Lund AI Hackathon 2026 is designed for students who care about how things work — not just what they look like. The focus is on solid ideas, technical depth and thoughtful use of AI, whether that means machine learning, large language models, systems, or entirely new approaches.
What to expect
Real Problems
Challenges grounded in real-world applications and research questions, not toy prompts or predefined templates.
Technical Depth
Room to explore models, data, architectures and trade-offs — whether you’re training models, building systems or experimenting with new ideas.
Strong Community
A focused environment with motivated students, mentors, researchers and industry partners who care about good engineering and research.
Who it's for
The hackathon is aimed at students with an interest in AI, machine learning, programming or applied mathematics — from beginners who want to learn fast, to experienced builders looking for a meaningful challenge.
You don't need to know everything. You do need curiosity, motivation and a willingness to think carefully about the systems you build.
