+The SYCL Hackathon @ CINECA is a multi-day, in-person event designed to help developer teams to port and/or
+optimize their codes for GPUs using the SYCL programming model. During the event developers will have the 
+chance to work alongside mentors and SYCL programming experts, which will guide them in porting and optimizing their code.
+
+SYCL is an open-standard, cross-platform heterogeneous programming model that allows developers
+to write code in standard modern C++, while at the same time enabling them to reuse their code 
+on a huge variety of hardware accelerator targets (CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs).
+
+Participants will also have to opportunity of using Leonardo, one of the most powerful 
+computers in the world (https://leonardo-supercomputer.cineca.eu/).
