KvarkenSat Innovation Challenge 2022 on Sustainable Forestry

2022-02-10

The DISA forestry group invites you to KvarkenSat Innovation Challenge 2022 on Sustainable Forestry that will start in next week with a pre-hackathon followed by the hackathon using space-based data helping to combat climate change!

Date: 18.03 – 20.03.2022 (see also information about the Pre-Hack Webinar on 15.02.2022 below)
Where: Online
Application deadline: Deadline: 10.03
Apply here: https://ultrahack.org/kvarkensat-innovation-challenge-2022

Acceptance based on submission, the best submissions may be approved early.

The challenges

Climate change brings about major changes affecting us all. Extreme weather events become more frequent and especially the amount of rainfall increases in Northern Europe, one contributor being the warmer winters. New species of both vegetation and animals enter new areas while the existing species might have even major changes in their habitats. These lead to new challenges in the forestry industry. We are looking for ideas and solutions combining existing knowledge and datasets with space-based data and datasets based on satellite measurements, in four particular themes including soil moisture, spruce bark beetles, forest ground damage and the forest value chain.

Who can apply?

The hackathon is open to students, teachers, researchers and start-ups in teams of 3-5 persons. Relevant expertise to participate include: space and satellite data, machine learning and neural networks, computer science, positioning systems, automation, image processing/recognition, engineering, logistics, business/communications and forestry.

Awards

The three best proposals across all of the themes will be awarded a cash prize (over 100 000SEK) and possible continuation/acceleration within start-ups and innovation programs.

Pre-Hack Webinar

To get familiar with the hackathon, meet the mentors and partners, and participate in Q&A-session join our webinar on 15 February at 13.00 (14.00 Finnish time).

Call for papers, Big Data Conference 2019

2019-09-30

Two fast-forward (FF) + poster (P) sessions will be organized as part of the Big Data Conference 2019. Each session will be introduced by fast-forward presentations where each participants will have 3 minutes to briefly summarize her/his research (max 3 slides incl. the title one). Directly after the FF part, participants will be redirected to their posters, where there will be possibility to interact with the interested public. There will be two FF+P sessions

1) Ongoing research. The first of the two FF+P session will focus on research just published or at an advanced stage of elaboration. The main goal here is to present research results of general interest for the public and eventually receive feedback on ongoing works.

2) New ideas. The second FF+P session will focus on future research, plans, or simply new ideas. The goal here is to share with the public their own plans, receive feedback, find partners and possible find synergies to develop future research together.

To submit to either session participants should send to Diana Unander, diana.unander@lnu.se a 500-word abstract briefly presenting the research by October 20, 2019. Each participant can submit at most one abstract for each of the two sessions.

If accepted, max three slides outlining the research and a poster presenting it in more details should be sent to the same address by November 24, 2019.

For more information or questions, please contact

Giangiacomo Bravo – giangiacomo.bravo@lnu.se

Call for Presentations – The 4th Big Data Conference

2018-10-17

Welcome to our 4th annual Big Data Conference at Linnaeus University hosted by the Linnaeus University Centre for Data Intensive Sciences and Applications (DISA) in Växjö, November 29-30, 2018. Detailed information on the conference can be found on the following web page.

For the session on research results of LNUC DISA, we invite submissions from DISA researchers to present their academically outstanding, previously published work at the Big Data Conference 2018. Submission deadline: Nov 12, 2018

Acceptance requirements:

(iv) At least one of the co-authors registers for the conference and attends the conference to give a presentation about the paper.

Note, that the paper will not be part of any proceedings or similar. As the planned session has only a restricted number of slots, we have to select according to a number of criteria, such as scientific quality, fitting into the DISA research aims, topical diversity (for example, not all talks on visualization or computational social sciences), etc. Therefore, we ask the submitters to carefully choose those papers and submit only one or maximal two papers of their work.

Information on these papers should be submitted via email to Diana Unander (diana.unander@lnu.se) containing: list of co-authors (DISA researcher(s) should be marked), title, abstract and venue/journal where the papers originally appeared together with a link where the paper can be downloaded.
