[Ica-osgeo-labs] OpenCitySmart - invitation to Europa worldwide international challenge

[Suchith Anand]

Patrick,

We are welcoming your challenge and I am requesting all our Geo4All labs to please inform this challenge to their  students and encourage active participation. It is a great opportunity for students in our labs to contribute and collaborate in a global challenge.


All -  please share the Europa  worldwide international challenge http://eurochallenge.como.polimi.it/ with your students and SMEs worldwide. It will also be a great dissertation project for your undergraduate , master students etc as well as contribute to help build open innovation tools  for the benefit of cities  worldwide.

Best wishes,

Suchith

A Challenge for All of YOU,

Anybody who gets three teams to participate in the Europa Challenge,
as long as those teams end up in the top 20, not too tough to do,
I will see that person gets their own NASA Crystal Bull!

http://eurochallenge.como.polimi.it/

That is how important I believe this challenge is, for the students,
the SMEs and all the rest of us who will benefit from the progress
those teams provide to our world.

Providing for cities and helping them to work together is essential!
If we are ever to move forward together into a sustainable world!

Yes, yes, it is ^Open^ to everybody!

In previous years we have had candidates form India, China and USA, as well as several European countries.

Anyone can take home the NASA Crystal Bull!

The Europa Challenge, now in its fourth year, is a worldwide international challenge.

Europa is daughter of the deities Oceanus<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceanus> and Tethys<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tethys_%28mythology%29>,
and also known for being a paramour of Zeus,
who came to her as a bull.

​Hi Patrick. Is the Europa Challenge close to Europeans? I'm almost sure it isn't but it will be better to clarify upon this. Thanks,

We are further defining what we need for a CitySmart platform.
Thanks to a University Professor (University of Kansas) and
