Brightcon 2025, hackathon & courses in Grenoble and online

Brightcon 2025 arrives with new ideas and invites you to join for stimulating discussions around open source software and data for (environmental) sustainability!

This years' theme is "Open data", and Brightcon 2025 intends to attract both software engineers and those who bring open source packages for (environmental) sustainability assessment into industrial or scientific practice. 

 Do you face open data aspects in your daily work? Would you like to learn more about the latest open data products and networks? Are you looking for networking opportunities with members of the open sustainability ecosystem around Brightway and open data for sustainability? You don’t need to be a programmer, Brightcon is for everyone enthusiastic about open sustainability!

The program will include reserved slots for presentations of open datasets, tools for harmonising and maintaining data, and community sessions to make open data the norm in sustainability assessment. 

Brightcon 2025 encompasses three events:

The conference itself happening Wednesday to Friday (15.-17.10.2025, hybrid)

Hackathon (Monday and Tuesday 13./14.10., physical), where everyone is invited to join forces to code on a defined topic; or to improve documentation

Courses for beginners and intermediate/advanced users of open source packages on Tuesday 14.10.2025 (physical). Please note that course access is reserved for conference attendees, i.e. it is not possible to register only for a course.
