Flood first response hackathon: multiscale sensing and robotics for early warning and emergency response

About

The activity is highly relevant and novel within a social context because it directly addresses urgent and growing societal challenges—such as the increasing frequency and severity of floods in many EU countries—by equipping participants with the advanced skills needed to assess, model, and actual mitigation strategies of these risks working on EARLY WARNING SYSTEMS 4ALL. The students will implement new robotic systems in early warning and rescue systems. They will be able to correctly choose the necessary components for their idea based on their specifications, test their compatibility and efficiently implement them in the final prototype.
