ETH Tunis starts with a straightforward idea: make it easier for people in Tunisia to learn about Ethereum, find collaborators and build useful things. A first gathering in Tunis is planned for June 2027. The community work starts before then.
A community with a place to meet
An event gives people a reason to come together. A community gives them a reason to stay in touch. Our ambition is to connect developers, designers, students and founders through practical learning and shared projects, with the June gathering as a milestone.
Tunis is the anchor. North Africa, the diaspora and the wider Mediterranean are the connections we want to develop. We are inviting people who can share experience, ask thoughtful questions and contribute to projects at different stages.
What is planned for the first edition
We are developing a format that brings together practical workshops, focused talks, project demonstrations and time to meet other participants. The builder track should help people turn an idea into something they can show and discuss.
These are program intentions. The exact dates, venue, speakers, partners and final format are not yet confirmed. A project challenge is being considered; no prize pool or full hackathon is being announced at this stage.
Who should get involved
You do not need to arrive with a startup or years of Solidity experience. A designer exploring wallet usability, a student looking for a first project and an experienced developer offering mentorship can all contribute.
Technical sessions will need clear prerequisites so participants can choose activities that match their experience. We also want room for product questions: who benefits from an application, how someone uses it and whether a blockchain actually helps.
What happens before June
Our proposed preparation includes community sessions, learning activities and opportunities for builders to share progress. Each activity will be announced only when its practical details are confirmed.
The interest list helps us understand the people who want to participate. Your role, location and interests can help shape appropriate learning sessions and identify where mentors or community partners are needed. Joining is free and does not reserve an event ticket.
Help shape what comes next
Builders can register interest in the project track. Universities and student communities can propose ways to involve their members. Ecosystem teams can offer practical workshops or mentorship, and local supporters can help make participation possible.
ETH Tunis is an independent community initiative. This announcement does not imply affiliation with the Ethereum Foundation or ETHGlobal. We will publish confirmed relationships and event details as the first edition takes shape.
