Q. Can I register as a team?
A. No, hackers have to register individually. Once we've confirmed your registration and invited you as a participant via the Taikai hackathon platform you can then form a team.

Q. Who can attend ETH Oxford 2024?
A. ETH Oxford is targeted at creative minds with a hacker spirit. We don't just want blockchain engineers. Developers familiar with traditional software stacks are more than welcome! We also strongly believe that every team needs people who can research to understand the market, can present, and can design intuitive UI/UX. We will also have low-code/no-code options for people with less blockchain experience.

Q. How much does it cost?
A. ETH Oxford is 100% free for all approved hackers. However, a small deposit is required to help us manage our waitlist and attendee list.

Q. Do you provide scholarships for attendees' transportation or VISA?
A. No. However, we can provide a VISA letter and also have something called an Income Sharing Agreement which you can learn more about ethoxford@home-dao.com

Q. Is there food and beverages at the event?
A. Food and drinks will be provided free for all attendees including vegan options. We'll be providing lunch and dinner daily, and there will be random snacks and beverages available 24/7.

Q. Is there Wi-Fi at the event?
A. Of course. Students will be able to connect via Eduroam. All other users will be able to access high-speed guest WiFi provided by the Mathematical Institute.

Q. I am interested in exhibiting or becoming a sponsor, what do I do?
A. If you are interested in sponsoring ETH Oxford, please contact ethoxford@home-dao.com and we'll take it from there.

Q. I Need Help with the Hack
A. This is a form hackers can use to request help from ETH Oxford mentors. This will serve as a "help ticket" system, please don't hesitate to fill the form during the hack to request for help.

Q. Do I have to be a blockchain developer?
A. We welcome developers of all experience levels (and non-devs too) and there will be bounties adapted to your level. There will be workshops before and during the hacks to help you!

Q. How are applicants selected?
A. ETH Oxford curators aim at selecting the best, most participative and motivated, programmers and creatives. For this they rely on what candidates fill in their profiles. What matters is your potential and your passion for technology, no matter your level of experience.

Q. I was accepted but have a conflict so I can't attend, what do I do?
A. Please let us know via ethoxford@home-dao.com and we will return your deposit provided that you inform us on time.

Q. Can I bring a guest to the event?
A. No. All attendees must apply to the event individually.

Q. Should I arrange for a place to stay?
A. Hackers can choose to stay the night at the venue. If you plan to stay overnight, we require you to bring your own sleeping bag or purchase from us (£20). Our napping rooms will have a capacity of about 100 hackers. These rooms will be stashed with mattresses and limited pillows and blankets. There will be one napping room for non-male-identifying individuals.

Q. Are there hotels nearby?
A. ETH Oxford is in a very central location in the city, so there are plenty of hotels around. Check out the housing section on the website to find the discount codes.

Q. What’s the best transport to Oxford?
A. If you are arriving by flight, Heathrow (1h20m to Oxford by bus) is usually the best in terms of time, and often overall cost. Gatwick is second (2h20m by bus) and has many budget airline connections. Luton (2.5h by bus) and Stansted (3h+) lack good direct connections to Oxford, but may be the most affordable if you are willing to spend the time on buses/trains!

Still have questions?
A. Head over to our Discord and ask away! You can also file a support ticket there.
