COVID19 INSPIRE Hackathon: Call for challenge proposals

We are pleased to announce you that Plan4all proposal on COVID 19 INSPIRE Hackathon 2020 refering to SmartAgriHubs Open Call for solving issues raised by COVID 19 pandemic has been successfully accepted! 

The COVID 19 INSPIRE Hackathon will
be already the 17th hackathon organised by the Plan4All association in
cooperation with CCSS and other H2020 projects including SmartAgriHubs.
It will be based on the traditional model of the INSPIRE Hackathon,
which is not a single event, it’s a process that is designed to
efficiently exploit the achieved results of previous hackathons on
developing new innovations.

COVID 19 INSPIRE Hackathon 2020
develops and shares agri-food economy solutions to balance the
imperatives of the present with the demands of the future. In COVID 19
Hackathon we will address next topics:

• Facilitate access to data and services for an easier digital innovation in the agri-food sectors / 3-4 expected Challenges
• Educating individuals from other sectors for being able to support agri-food businesses in the crisis / 1 expected challenge
• Forecasting of regional food supplies, deviations and/or shortages / 3-4 expected challenges
• Mobilising agricultural workforce for harvesting / 1 – 2 expected challenges
• Regional matching of offer and demand for fresh produce in decentralised settings / 1 expected challenge

The hackathon is currently in its
preparation stage related to challenge definitions. Therefore, we are
looking for challenge proposals that will address the above topics.

The challenge proposal should include:

• Title of the challenge
• Name of the mentor***
• Short description of the challenge (250 characters max)
• Extended description of the challenge (cca 1800 characters)
• The goal of the challenge

*** In the INSPIRE hackathons the mentors are mentoring the teams
addressing a set of pre-defined challenges. The mentors coordinate the
work in the teams, ensure the team communication, make sure the final
reports of the team results before the end of the virtual hackathon are
delivered, attend and support the final virtual event, coordinate the
presentations dedicated to their team’s results, and making sure the
results are presented at the final virtual event of the hackathon.

The Call for Challenge proposals on COVID 19 INSPIRE Hackathon is open until the 31 July 2020.
