Our Mechathon sessions, led by Johannes Klinglmayr, Fabio Damm and Bernhard Bergmair, addressed the question of how digital services and new technologies can contribute to finding solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In these sessions, a team of international artists brought future scenarios to life through their creative storyboards and designed innovative solutions. This collaborative effort serves as a catalyst for identifying the critical role that new technologies can play in solving the challenges of climate change. It is clear that everyone has a vested interest in solving the climate crisis, and as a community we are actively preparing for a better, more sustainable future for our climate  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a
