Be the change
Who can organise a Climathon?
As a Climathon Organiser, you will be leading the event on the ground – from logistics to fundraising and hosting the event – raising climate change awareness and inspiring others to act.
Climathon Organisers are known for being the leaders and community builders, project developers, or experts in sustainability issues. Most importantly, anyone can become a Climathon organiser, including and not limited to: SMEs, incubators, accelerators, universities, city councils, NGOs, research institutions.
Being a Climathon Organiser is a very rewarding experience, but it is also a big commitment. Please read our organiser responsibilities to make sure your organisation has the capacity to run such event.
Becoming a Climathon Organiser is available exclusively to Climate KIC Community members. Our Community is open to everyone, and there are different kinds of membership levels that you can choose.
The 2026 Call for Organisers is open now and will close on 31 March. Apply today to secure your role.

Climathon Global Days
The Global Climathon Days unites the Climathon community in one global campaign to combat climate change.
This online initiative, organized by Climate KIC and partners, highlights stories and outcomes from all the Climathons, and fosters global connectivity.
If you are planning to organise your Climathon during the Global Climathon Days, please get in touch with the team from Climate KIC to learn more.
Organising during Global Climathon Days is encouraged, so that you and your partners can utilize the global awareness and connectivity. However, as an organiser you have the freedom to decide when to organise your Climathon.
