Our First European Defense Tech Hackathon Focused on OSINT and FIMI

Join 100+ participants from across Europe and beyond at the European Defense Tech Hackathon on November 6–8, 2026 — co-organized with the dtec.bw project “Media for Peace (M4P)” at the University of the Bundeswehr Munich

For six years, M4P has researched how information is used as a weapon in conflict, known as Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI), and what can be built to counter it.

Start with the Showcase: On Friday, November 6, M4P presents its findings at its final Showcase, from 9 am to 5 pm. The day includes a hands-on prototype expo, a science slam and a live information crisis simulation. The hackathon starts right after. Register for the Showcase here: https://luma.com/j0i2z3mx

The hackathon takes on the same problems. If you work on open-source intelligence (OSINT), information operations or counter-disinformation, this is the one to come to!

You get 48 hours, mentors from the Bundeswehr (German Federal Armed Forces), and researchers from across the Munich ecosystem who will tell you whether your idea and prototype hold up.
