@Vincent_Rousseau, I thought FIRA 2024 had already come and gone. I generally understand Hackathons to be an in-person event. Am I to understand that this is this an on-line competition that is ongoing?

If that’s the case it might be worth having a chat.

This is about FIRA 2025 that is taking place in Toulouse on the 4-6 February 2025.
Yes, the qualification phase is not an in-person event so every teams have to submit there solution (code or executable) to be evaluated.
The best teams will be invited to the final phase at FIRA 2025.
