Welcome

The EURECA-PRO Alliance is aware of the key importance of raising visibility of STEM (‘Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics’) knowledge areas, encouraging the interest of the students, and specially the role of women, in STEM innovation. If you missed the first edition of the ‘EURECA-PRO STEM Innovation Contest’ the second edition returns to engage Undergraduate and Master students from the nine partner Universities of the EURECA-PRO Alliance into the design of creative projects to solve real-world challenges in cooperation with STEM-related industries. The Contest promotes invention and problem-solving abilities through collaborative work among students with the support of multidisciplinary STEM researchers acting as mentors.

FINAL PHASE – LEÓN (SPAIN)

STEM Contest Final Phase will be in University of León, 4 – 7 th July.

Here are the finalist teams!

Applefreak (ULE), AppPopuli++ (SUT), AvGeeks (SUT), Environment Research Engineering (UP), MWC22 (HSMW), Safe Wheels (SUT), Sampling (ULE) and 3D Printing with Ceramics (SUT).


May the best win and good luck!

Healthy and sustainable societies

  • Optimize workspaces and hardware/software needs of employees through automated processes
  • Elucidate whether inappropriate medication intake and daily activity contribute to the risk of a fall, especially for the elderly
  • Provide a solution that will benefit people with disabilities towards their inclusion in everyday fun activities (e.g., in sports, museums, recreation, attending events).
  • Create a computer platform or system to help people living alone, susceptible to suffer any incident, notifying municipal services or caregivers, so that they can intervene and avoid possible consequences
  • Methodologies or tools to improve the digital content quality targeted at children and teenagers in the web and social media
  • Design a system, product or plan to reduce and minimize waste material, especially plastic waste, generate at refreshment points to promote more sustainable marathons and races

Art

  • Art through technology: an art-related technological solution to help to communicate and approach existing art forms to people
  • Development of a model for the valuation of works of art as an investment good

Transport systems

  • Bicycle safety & security: a solution to improve safety and security of bike riding through the protection of users and equipment’s from unexpected incidents (e.g., crashes, accidents, thefts or misuses)
  • Monitor and facilitate the delivery process of paver asphalt mixes optimising logistics and coordination through real time data

New technologies

  • No-code application tool helping with the design, allowing to draw, sketch, outline the elements of the user interface to use it in contemporary integrated programming environments (IDEs).
  • Develop an eco-friendly solution for apple harvesting avoiding fruit or tree damage without the use of human force
  • Development of a system to automatically detect and recognize LED displayed errors in the production process of LED display boards
  • Development of a behavioral scoring system, based on users’ behavioral data, to improve the availability of financial products for clients
  • Development of an electric and magnetic field arm scanner
  • Create a system that manages the legalization (Industrial Safety, Environment and Occupational Risk Prevention), both initial and subsequent, of all types of installations involved in the operation of a building or facility

Environmental protection

  • Evaluation of the urban characteristics and the formulation of proposals for the environmental and social upgrade of a central area of Chania city with respects to its social and cultural capital.
  • Design an easy-to-implement solution to recycle laminated/coated products from barrier liners used in paper packaging through existing technologies
