Contest for developing storm warning systems for Vietnamese fishermen
What is it?
A competition launched by EADS Innovation Works in Singapore and the Vietnamese Academy of Sciences’ (VAST) Space Technology Institute (STI) that asks students to develop new warning systems to alert fishermen when typhoons are approaching.
What can I win?
The winning team receives a prize worth US$4,000.
Past winners
Two students from the FPT University and Foreign Trade University won the 2011 competition proposing a communications-centric solution. Comprised of commercially available products, it addressed the constraint of limited financial means as well as ease of operation for the fishermen. Looking to the future, the team also incorporated the possible use of satellite technology, stretching the horizon for operations beyond the East Sea.
