A designathon (aka hackathon, sprint collaboration, intensive workshop) is a three-stage activity that includes an open call for ideas and participants, an intensive period of collaborative work, and follow-up activities. The purpose of this open call is to gather practices and practical tips related to designathons for health in order to inform the development of a global SIHI/TDR consensus statement on organizing health designathons. Our team are organizing this call for descriptions of how people have organized their designathons.

Join A Global Open Call For Youth Voices On Health Innovation
The Youth Cafe is thrilled to partner with the Go Youth and supports disseminating the Go Youth! Open Call to its networks, given its work in youth innovation. The Go Youth! Global Open Call 2022 is a crowdsourcing open call for Youth Voices on Health Innovation. This open call strongly focuses on supporting social innovation in health research; therefore, ideas with evidence on pilot or early-stage implementation are preferred. Are you a youth (18 to 35) interested in youth-led social innovation in health initiatives worldwide? We search for youth-led health innovations to receive seed research funding, mentorship and support, networking opportunities, and international recognition.
