Citizen Science Hackathon

Our work applies mathematics and physics to the study of physical processes occurring in and around the Earth. For our research, field observations, high-performance computing, and remote sensing methods get combined.The overarching goal of our work is to further the understanding of the physics of our planet. Much of our research is devoted to (numerical) weather prediction, climatology, seismology, and the Earth's gravity field.

<H2>Hello, world!</H2>
<H4>Do you have a world-changing idea that just waits to be executed?</H4>
<H4>Or maybe you are a coder, programmer or scientist and interested in future of science?</H4>
<P>Join the Citizen Science Hackathon, form your team and build together a proof of concept for the product!</P>
<P><SPAN>Citizen Science </SPAN>is scientific research conducted, in whole or in part, by amateur (or nonprofessional) scientists. In other words, it is public participation in scientific research, whose outcomes are often advancements in scientific research, as well as an increase in the public's understanding of science.</P>
<H2>Tickets Types</H2>
<UL>
<LI>If you have an idea for a project - please choose the<STRONG> Idea Owner</STRONG> ticket.</LI>
<LI>If you are a professional (Software developer, UX designer, machine learning eng, researcher) please choose the <STRONG>Person of Action ticket</STRONG></LI>
<LI>If you want to volunteer and assist in organizing - please choose the <STRONG>Volunteer Ticket</STRONG></LI>
</UL>
<P> </P>
<H2>How does it work?</H2>
<P>After hearing scientists' and citizen enthusiasts' <SPAN>ideas</SPAN> on the first day, it's up to you to choose and join your favorite project <SPAN>team</SPAN> and work on a<SPAN> prototype</SPAN> during the rest of the weekend (Team size limit may apply).</P>
<P>On Sunday, when the prototype is ready, each team will present it to the jury. Amazing <SPAN>prizes</SPAN> are waiting for the winning projects, where both creativity and execution quality are taking into consideration.</P>
<P><SPAN>But that's not it</SPAN> - During the weekend, we'll take care of the fun part with plenty of <SPAN>surprises</SPAN>!</P>
<P> </P>
<H2>What are the projects?</H2>
<P>You will choose which project attracts you or challenges you the most. For example, you can work on the <SPAN>app which allows everyone to report landslides that he/she discovers or help to understand how can we use seismological equipment for urban life enhancement.</SPAN></P>
<P> </P>
<H2>What are the Requirements?</H2>
<P>You are expected to know how to code (you don't have to be really good, thou). It can be either front-end (Angular, React, Vue, etc.) or backend - Java/Python/.NET/PHP... knowledge in Data Science and/or any Science is, of course, always welcomed!</P>
<P> </P>
<H2>Thanks, big time to our sponsors:</H2>
