The European Impact Sprint is an intensive, four-day innovation program hosted by the Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI) in Potsdam/Berlin. It brings together 60 top Computer Science students from 30 European countries representing leading technical universities across the continent (UCL, ETH Zürich, TU Wien, etc.).

Over the course of the program, students collaborate in cross-border teams to develop and prototype solutions for building digital sovereignty for a stronger, more connected Europe.

The program offers a unique opportunity for students to collaborate with peers from across Europe on future-focused challenges. In a hands-on learning environment with expert-led workshops, inspirational talks, and mentoring sessions, participants develop innovative prototypes and build valuable networks.
