PLOCAN scientists visit 52°North

PLOCAN scientists visit 52°North

PLOCAN staff carry out hands-on experiments using Sensor Web technologies

We welcomed  Rubén Marrero and Mustapha Maarouf from PLOCAN (Plataforma Oceánica de Canarias) to our 52°North offices last week. For three days, the two scientists immersed themselves in the ins and outs of sensor web technologies. After introductory sessions, they were able to use our implementations to carry out their own hands-on experiments. We also had time to discuss possibilities for future cooperation.

Many thanks for their visit – we already look forward to working together.

Their visit was made possible by Staff Mobility funding from the EU FORWARD project.

ifgiHACK 2022

Successful hackathon for all ifgi students!

The Institute for Geoinformatics, Univeristy of Münster recently held a three day hackathon for its students. The event started with exciting introductory workshops, such as JavaScript, GitHub and the senseBox. For the next two days, the students coded in groups. 52°North joined a jury with con terra, Code for Münster, re:edu and IfGI to choose the best idea and prototype. The groups LeezenLytics, LeezGo and Regen oder Rad all came up with innovative ideas around cycling, however, team “Take my Junk” was the winner with their online gift box for more sustainability.

Many thanks to all the teams for their committment and great results. We had a great time and supporting and sponsoring the hackathon and look forward to next year’s!
