Are you an early career researcher (ECR) who wants to delve into drug repurposing?

Join us for the third REMEDi4ALL Hackathon, 6-11 September 2026, held at Hotel Checkin Montserrat, near Barcelona, Spain.
The REMEDi4ALL Repurposing Hackathon is designed to help early career researchers learn by doing. Join a small team of international trainees keen to learn about the repurposing pathway on a week-long residential course where you aim to plan the development of a repurposing candidate for a specific patient community.

Students and researchers in the early stages of their career up to 2 years post-doc
Individuals with an interest in drug repurposing
Individuals with an excellent scientific track record
Previous experience in the drug repurposing field will be considered a plus

What will you learn?
The REMEDi4ALL Hackathon aims to teach participants how to:

Use computational tools to generate repurposing candidates suitable for a defined indication
Narrow down potential repurposed drug options tailored to a particular indication
Identify needs and knowledge gaps in a repurposing project, helping to define the path for a drug candidate
Work together with other ECRs to complete a repurposing challenge
