This document summarizes past hackathons in Brussels that were supported by the BRIC. It lists 19 hackathons from 2014-2017 on open data topics. The hackathons aimed to help data consumers and producers and support social innovation. One notable hackathon in November 2016 was the "Brussels goes gender-smart" event, which aimed to promote gender equality and women in technology through workshops and challenges to develop apps using gender-related open datasets.
