SOCAT QC Hackathon 3rd February 2026

We will be organising a 24-hour SOCAT QC hackathon on 3rd February 2026. We invite old and new SOCAT data enthusiasts to join us for 24 hours of secondary quality control. Experienced data QCers will be on hand for the whole day, and every 4 hours we will have a short SOCAT QC presentation. Let’s get secondary QC done together!

More information about the hackathon will be available nearer the date.
