On October 16-18, 2020, the Institute of Solid State Physics of the University of Latvia will organize the second hackathon “Student Deep Science hackathon”, this time online, to give students the opportunity to develop their ideas and meet new team members.
The event will be a workshop for the creation and development of new innovative ideas in a virtual environment for students who want to form interdisciplinary teams with innovation potential. We are looking for interesting ideas in the fields of STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics).
During the 3 days, participants will form interdisciplinary teams with previously submitted ideas, develop them together with mentors and at the end of the event will present the commercialization plan to the jury, scientists, investors and interested parties. During the event, participants will be provided with mentor support, co-working environment and information for commercialization steps. It will be presented in the form of webinars, which will also be available to those who do not participate in the event with their ideas.
Those interested without an idea are also invited to apply! Everyone will have the opportunity to join one of the teams with their competence (physics, materials science, chemistry, business development, design, engineering, programming, marketing, etc.).
The student hackathon is organized by the Institute of Solid State Physics of the University of Latvia together with the University of Latvia. The Student Deep Science Hackathon is supported by ERDF co-financed project no. 1.1.1.3/18/A/007 "Innovation Grants of the University of Latvia for Students".
