FAQ for Partners & Sponsors of the Energy Data Hackdays
The challenges and their results are freely accessible and will be published on the homepages of opendata.ch and the BfE (Swiss Federal Office of Energy) after the event. They will be made available to interested parties (universities, engineering offices, developers, challenge owners, participants in the hackdays) for further use.
Data & Data Sets:
Publicly accessible data sets remain publicly accessible. If challenge owners provide their own data for processing the task, this is generally only available for the event (or their own challenge). The challenge owner can also make certain data sets available for other events depending on their own governance requirements and make these sets freely available.
Models:
This depends heavily on the challenge owner and the challenge itself. The documentation of the challenges is published on Github and on the SwissEnergy website. This means that they are not only available to the challenge owner. As a rule, the challenge owners take the results of the hackdays back with them and use them internally for further development > Sense and added value of open innovation.
