What is Diplohack?

Diplohack is a creative process, which brings together diplomats and all other key stakeholders to work on finding solutions to relevant issues.

Diplohack consists of two elements:

1- Ideation: It is a creative process aimed at quickly developing solutions regarding challenges to be overcome. The goal here is to gather stakeholders around a topic and brainstorm to generate new ideas or fine-tune existing ideas.

2- Hackathon: This is the stage where the concepts and information obtained from the ideation phase are turned into tangible solutions. Hackathons generally last for 48 hours.
