MAKEathon sessions are intensive collaborative events where researchers, technologists, and industry stakeholders come together to tackle specific challenges within the marine and freshwater sectors. These hands-on workshops foster rapid prototyping and creative problem-solving, drawing on diverse expertise from across the Nordic region and beyond. Participants work in focused teams to develop practical tools, workflows, or concepts that address real-world needs in fisheries management, coastal resource use, or environmental monitoring. The MAKEathon format reflects a broader commitment to innovation that runs throughout Matis Projects, complementing initiatives in remote electronic monitoring, coastal fisheries research, and environmental DNA networking. By bringing together varied perspectives in a structured, time-limited setting, MAKEathon generates actionable outcomes that support sustainable resource management and cross-sector cooperation.
