Marmara Impacthon: A Sustainability & Impact Ideathon Leading up to COP31

As EYDK, we took part among the jury members at Marmara Impacthon, contributing to the evaluation of ideas through an impact-oriented lens.

Organised under the leadership of Marmara University STKAM and held on 18–19 April 2026 at Göztepe Campus GençOfis, Marmara Impacthon was an inspiring marathon supporting impact-driven green ideas.

Innovative ideas developed across areas such as food, energy, water, textiles, transportation, waste management, and the circular economy were strengthened through a mentorship process before being presented to the jury. Impacthon evolved into a dynamic space where ideas transformed into tangible solutions and impact-oriented thinking was actively experienced.

We believe that such platforms play a key role in expanding impact-oriented thinking and empowering young people to take an active role in this field.
