Blue-Cloud Hackathon - Decode the Ocean
Participants will be challenged to develop applications that contribute to improving knowledge of marine ecosystems; support the transition to a greener, blue economy; advance Ocean literacy; and/or enhance international collaboration towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations Agenda 2030.
Challange Categories
You will be asked to deliver a “proof of concept” for an innovative solution that could be developed to address an Ocean challenge. Check out the challenge categories envisioned!
1) Understanding the Ocean: How might we use collaborative science to advance knowledge of plankton and the key role it plays in supporting life in the Ocean?
2) Feeding the World: How might we balance our need to source healthy food from the Ocean to feed the World today with the need to secure a healthy Ocean for future generations?
3) Predicting environmental risks: How might we use environmental indicators to understand complex phenomena affecting marine ecosystems and detect changes in their status with sufficient time to respond?
4) Wild Card: Hack the Blue-Cloud!
How might we use Blue-Cloud to advance knowledge of the Ocean? Or to support the transition to a more sustainable Blue Economy? Or to promote Ocean literacy? Or to advance international cooperation to deliver the UN Sustainable Development Goals?
