🧠 Creativity is intelligence having fun
From Friday 21 February to Sunday 23 February 2025 the fifth Ghent University Legal Techathon will take place. This Techathon is no ordinary event—it’s a unique opportunity where small teams of students from law, economics, and computer science come together to tackle a legal challenge over three intensive days.
They combine their expertise, exchange ideas, develop a concept, and—eureka!—create an IT-driven solution. On the final day, the teams present their concepts, and a winner is chosen.
