Monash and NVIDIA spearhead AI hackathon to supercharge scientific projects
Mar. 3, 2026
Scientific researchers and AI experts convened at Monash University for the AI for Science Australian Hackathon, hosted in collaboration with NVIDIA and the OpenACC organization.
The hackathon involves high-energy ‘sprints’ with teams using AI to turn their ideas into working prototypes in just a matter of days. This year the researchers accelerated projects across structural biology, advanced engineering, quantum chemistry and climate modelling.
Researchers from institutions across Australia bid for their spot at the event, which offers a unique opportunity to be mentored by leading AI experts from Monash University, NVIDIA and National Computational Infrastructure (NCI) Australia.
