We will present our experience of running a hackathon and our evaluation of how successfully it achieved its aims. We will also give examples of the projects we conducted and how successful they were. Finally we will give our preliminary evaluation of what we learned about the interoperability of infrastructures and what recommendations we can give to improve their interoperability, whether that is improvements to the data standards used, the means to access the data and analyse them, or even the physical bandwidth and computational restrictions that limit the potential for research.
