I am not sure that I understand what you mean by "include the Europa Challenge criteria".<br>
Since the Europa Challenge is open to all [1], I do not see any reason why the project<br>
team or individuals participating in the code sprint cannot send in their entries for<br>
the Europa Challenge.<br>
<br>
I would encourage you (or Maria) to send the info about the Europa Challenge to the<br>
Code Sprint ML [2] (I am not subscribed to the list). You request the organizers to
<br>
print the Europa Challenge brochure [3] and leave copies at the registration<br>
desk of the Code Sprint venue to increase visibility amongst the Paris Code <br>
Sprinters.<br>
