Hack4Her, the only continuous female-focused student hackathon in the Netherlands, has been awarded funding through the 4TU.NIRICT DEI call.
Since 2022, the event has engaged over 250 hackers and 300 participants, offering a safe, inspiring space for women in CS and EE to explore technology and gain recognition.
The grant supports the next major step: transforming Hack4Her into a nationwide 4TU event hosted at TU/e in 2026, with rotating challenges co-designed by all 4TU partners to ensure long-term continuity.
📅 Hack4Her 2026 will take place in early June
🎉 Congratulations to the entire project team: Katja Tuma / Anna Sperotto / Megha Khosla / Pedro P. Vergara— and best of luck with the exciting next phase!
