The final program of the Hackathon is now online. See details here
The Challenges...
During the 2-day hackathon the participants will work and compete in any of the following challenges:
Visualize marine radioactivity data at a global or local scale
Forecast radioactivity based on existing or simulated time series of data
Forecast seismic data based on historic and online data
Visualize environmental data from the marine environment
Provide monitoring solutions of atmospheric and oceanic environments
Develop solutions for Spectral Analysis for different radioactivity sensors
See this page for more
Who can apply...
The RAMONES Hackathon targets young researchers, particularly graduate students, post docs and young professionals and entrepreneurs from informatics, physics, environment, geosciences and engineering.
We envision a lively event with participating teams of 2-3 members each. If you have no team, but still want to participate with your interesting ideas, you can join our matching partner list, where you could explore synergies with other parties. We encourage synergy and collaboration to produce innovative ideas and timely solutions for open and important problems.
Prizes...
No contest is real unless prizes are awarded! Compete for one of the top-3 places to receive a techie award. An evaluation committee will select the best ideas of the Hackathon in a special pitching session on the second day of the Hackathon. All participants will receive a certificate of participation.
Where to find data...
Possible sources of data and relevant information may be found in the following websites. Other open-access data sites can be used, as well.
1. Radioactivity data from the marine environment.
Safecast site
EU MARIS
IAEA site @ Monaco
JAEA (Fukushima)
GAEC network
2. Seismic timeseries in the marine environment
NKUA Information site
USGS global site
NOAA databases
3. Environmental data (e.g. timeseries, historic data sets)
USGS
European Clima Network
NOAA
EMODnet
and more
In general…
The teams will have to work with open-access data.
Several data sets can be combined under the same app, software or website
There is no constraint on live or historic data sets.
The teams will have roughly one day and a half to present their work and prepare their pitch.
Each team will be assigned a mentor to help them during their preparation of their pitch.
Each team will have 10 min to pitch their ideas in front of the evaluation committee.
