As part of the SEDIMARK project, in which Santander City Council and the University of Cantabria are participating, a hackathon will be held inviting developers, designers, urban planners and data experts to explore the future of sustainable mobility in cities through the power of data. Participants will have access to the tools developed by the project to share real-world urban data and datasets, and they will be able to discover how the exchange of reliable data through the SEDIMARK Data Marketplace can drive innovation in mobility, the environment and urban planning.

The initiative has been organized to be ideal for developers, data scientists, researchers, and anyone interested in smart cities, sustainability, mobility, advanced data ecosystems, or SEDIMARK Data Market technologies. However, it will be open to anyone who were curious about exploring data applications and wants to develop innovative ideas using data as a foundation. The main objective for the SEDIMARK Data4Mobility Hackathon is to revolve around the data catalogues available in the Data Marketplace developed in the SEDIMARK project. These include real urban datasets related to sustainable mobility, places of interest in cities, traffic flows and air quality, not only in the city of Santander but also in other Spanish and European cities. Participants have had the opportunity to experiment with static and real-time data to jointly create services and ideas for smarter and more sustainable urban mobility.

Hackathon’s participants will be using the tools developed in the SEDIMARK project to search for and obtain the datasets available in the Data Marketplace that has been built as part of the project.

Technical training, documentation and details about the available datasets will be provided to participants at the beginning of the hackathon, examples from these datasets are:

• The journeys made with TUeBICI service bicycles between October 2024 and February 2025.
• The evolution of the availability of TUeBICI service bicycles at their stations (both historical and real-time data).
• The availability of public bicycles in more than 20 Spanish cities.
• The position of TUS buses.
• Information and location of tourist points of interest in Santander and three other Spanish cities.

In addition, during the hackathon, a team of developers from the SEDIMARK project will be available to answer questions and provide support to participants in all matters relating to the use of the tools and datasets of the SEDIMARK Data Marketplace, both on site and through telematic channels that will be made available for this purpose.
