Dear colleagues,



We are pleased to invite developers, students (PhD and MSc) and everyone
interested in the topics listed below to take part in an on-line hackathon
on 10 and 11 April. The event is hosted by the Sapienza University of Rome
within the H2020 GATHERS project (www.gathers.eu).



The challenge will be focused on the applications of real-time velocity
measurements usually used for GNSS seismology. During the event we use our
smartphones to collect velocity data and go further out of the
geo-scientific range and search for alternative utilization beneficial in other
social branches.



The widest variety of problems and applications which can benefit from GNSS
seismology methods and techniques will be addressed, with special attention
to real-time solutions and to ground shakings due to anthropogenic
activities, as Earth crust tremors/shallow earthquakes related to induced
seismicity caused by mining activities or underground excavations. Also,
the fruitful integration of GNSS with other sensors will be considered.



Two challenges will be open:

   -

   Design & Implement: This challenge is devoted to designing and
   developing new apps & services based on the GNSS Seismology approach using
   high rate (1Hz & more) GNSS data to estimate ground velocities &
   displacements. A freely available real-time service providing a GNSS
   Seismology solution (velocity - VADASE approach) from data collected by an
   Android (v. 7+) smartphone will be used


   -

   Create & Explain: This brainstorming challenge will search for new
   groundbreaking applications, even in fields very far from Seismology, and
   prepare a mockup. Keyword: Real-time, Precise velocity, Smartphones,
   Crowdsourcing, Fitness, Pedestrians, Vehicles, Big data, Vibrations, Early
   warning, Natural hazards

There are no participation fees, but registration is required on
http://www.gathers.eu/trainings-events/hackathon-april-2021/. The
participants in the GATHERS hackathon will get a certificate of 1 ECTS.



The best outcomes of the competition will be presented and discussed
in a Workshop
which will be held on the following day - Monday 12th April. It will be
open to the public and accessible via a zoom link which will be posted on
gathers.eu.



We would appreciate it if you could share the information with your
colleagues and students.
