On the 10th and 11th of September 2025, 72 participants (selected from over 350 applicants) from more than 45 countries on 6 continents, came together online to compete in SER’s first-ever ecological restoration Hackathon. The Hackathon was developed as a way to enable those unable to travel to Denver for SER’s World Conference, SER2025, including experts from around the world whose voices might not otherwise be heard, to participate and contribute to the sharing of knowledge and ideas at the event.

As SER2025 delegates, you have the opportunity to help select the overall winner of the Hackathon. Watch the finalist presentation videos below, which will also be shown during plenary sessions, and cast your vote for the project that best represents the future of ecological restoration innovation in monitoring, reporting, and verification.
