Teams compete in one of three categories, using the Public Graph on its own or combined with any other open data. Specific challenge questions, set with partner organizations and domain experts, will be published about two weeks before the event.

• Explore: Analytical work that integrates data and generates new insight, such as mapping the evidence around a question to show what is settled, contested or missing.

• Visualize: Design and communication, turning relationships in the graph into compelling, accurate visual stories for a non-specialist audience.

• Build: Working tools on top of the graph, such as hypothesis generation or integration with other pieces of analytical and scholarly infrastructure.

While challenges from individual disciplines are welcome, we hold that the most pressing challenges worldwide are interconnected, so we are deliberately favoring interdisciplinary problems at the intersection of fields such as climate, environment, food and health.
