How it works?


SMOGATHON 2019

Do you want to fight air pollution with innovation and technology? We invite you
to apply for taking part in data hackathon (7-8.12.2019, Krakow) to solve real
life challenges and create projects in categories.


MAIN CATEGORIES


Pollution Monitoring & Forecasting
10 000 PLN


POLLUTION MONITORING & FORECASTING

10 000 PLN

“You can't control what you can't measure”. Monitoring stations may be
established to determine background pollution levels. Maybe every man and woman
could have a pocket sensor if it is comfortable cheap enough. If you know that
it is a smoggy day you can adapt your everyday activity to it. What are the best
indoor and outdoor air pollution measurement methods?

Health Effects of Air Pollution
10 000 PLN


HEALTH EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTION

10 000 PLN

Air pollution causes 4,2 million premature deaths worldwide and over 45 thousand
in Poland. Not everyone knows but smog decreased quality of life. Prevention is
better than cure but not every human lives in the area free of air pollution.
What is the available treatment for people affected by pollution? How to relieve
symptoms?

Transportation Emissions Management
10 000 PLN


TRANSPORTATION EMISSIONS MANAGEMENT

10 000 PLN

How can we reduce emission in transportation? For example, aircraft causes about
3.5% of global warming as a result of all human activities. Are cars as harmful
to humans as planes to the planet? Is there any alternative to the vehicles we
currently use? How to encourage people to use public transport?



Identification of Pollution Sources
10 000 PLN


IDENTIFICATION OF POLLUTION SOURCES

10 000 PLN

Energy management is a part of a smart, future house. Proper household heating
and good optimization can provide an eco-friendly building. The pleasant warm
temperature can be provided from different sources but which of them is the best
for the environment? What conditions must be met so that the heating could be
effective?

Industrial Pollution Control
10 000 PLN


INDUSTRIAL POLLUTION CONTROL

10 000 PLN

Do you have an idea how to effectively regulate issues related to the control of
coal and fuel quality? How to start and what technology is the best to use? What
stage of control is the number one priority? Use your knowledge and good ideas
to make a real solution that enables to supervision of  quality of coal and
fuel.


PARTNERS PRIZES


Special Prize donated by Allegra
15 000 PLN


SPECIAL PRIZE DONATED BY ALLEGRA

15 000 PLN
Special Prize donated by Krakowski Park Technologiczny
60 000 PLN


SPECIAL PRIZE DONATED BY KRAKOWSKI PARK TECHNOLOGICZNY

60 000 PLN

Do you have an idea how to improve public transport and communication in the
Krakow agglomeration? Do you know what tools to effectively monitor and inform
about the level of pollution? Do you want to propose a solution that efficiently
identifies the main sources of smog and / or allows you to minimize them?

Selected teams will be invited to talks aimed at financing and implementing the
project in one of the municipalities in Małopolska.

Kraków is a city with county rights, located in southern Poland on the Vistula
river, as the second largest city in Poland both with reard to the population
and surface area. It is a former capital of Poland, Royal Capital City and
necropolis of Polish kings, as well as the capital of Małopolska Region. The
city is located at a meeting point of several geographic regions: Sandomierz
Basin, West-Beskidian Piedmont and Polish Jurassic Highland. The history of
Kraków as an organised urban centre begins around the 7th and 8th centuries Anno
Domini. To this day, we can admire the remains left behind the initial settlers
in the form of two mounds: Krakus and Wanda. Another crucial date in the history
of the city was its reception of city rights modelled on the Magdeburg Law on
the 5th June 1257, allowing the formation of the current shape of the Old Town.
As a result, the Wawel Castle became the seat of the contemporary ruler of
Poland. The city's location at an intersection of trade routes: from Rus' to
Germany and the Kingdom of Bohemia (today's Czech Republic), and from Pomerania
to Hungary, Turkey and the Balkans, allowed its fast economic growth. The
capital city of Poland was at the peak of its development in the Polish Golden
Age (16th century). In those times, Kraków was – as it is now – the city of
science and culture. It attracted the greatest artists, whose works can still be
seen today: The altarpiece by Veit Stoss or the cloister at the Wawel Castle,
designed by Bartolommeo Berrecci. The history of Kraków is inextricably linked
to the history of the Polish nation. After the Golden Age, the power of the res
publica came to a close. The Swedish Deluge, economic downfall and partitions of
Poland took their toll on the fate of the country and the city. However, its
residents never forgot the times of Kraków's greatness. Perhaps this is why the
city was always a real patriotic lair of the nation. This is whence the First
Cadre Company marched, led by Józef Piłsudski, which is why this is also where
the invader's army was disarmed on the Independence Day. Today, Kraków is a
modern and developing city and a melting pot where tradition of indigenous
residents is mixed with student's avant-garde. However, thanks to a great number
of monuments, excellently preserved in the city's layout, it has never lost its
majestic character. Krakow is simply magical. Kraków in numbers: – surface:
326.8 sq. km – population: 759 800 – population density: 2323 ppl/sq. km – 4
administrative units: Śródmieście, Krowodrza, Podgórze, Nowa Huta – jointly
divided into 18 districts – highest point: Piłsudski Mound on Sowiniec – 383.6 m
above sea level – lowest point: Potok Kościelnicki estuary – 187 m above sea

Małopolska to silny ośrodek gospodarczy i doskonałe miejsce dla rozwoju biznesu.
Potwierdza to między innymi przyznany Małopolsce przez Komitet Regionów –
jedynemu jak dotąd polskiemu województwu – tytuł Europejskiego Regionu
Przedsiębiorczości. Wg danych Eurostat Małopolska jest jednym z 28 najszybciej
rozwijających się regionów Unii Europejskiej, a w rankingu amerykańskiego think
tanku Milken Institute znalazła się na 20. miejscu wśród europejskich regionów,
których gospodarka rozwijała się w 2017 r. najszybciej. Na przestrzeni ostatnich
lat PKB w Małopolsce wzrósł o ponad 30% (stanowi 8% krajowego PKB), stale rośnie
liczba firm, a także miejsce Małopolski w międzynarodowych rankingach
atrakcyjności inwestycyjnej. W województwie działa ponad 380 tys. podmiotów
gospodarczych. Tylko w 2017 r. w Małopolsce zarejestrowano ponad 34 tys. nowych
przedsiębiorstw. Firmy z Małopolski są także w gronie najbardziej innowacyjnych
w Polsce. Pod względem środków ponoszonych przez przedsiębiorstwa na działalność
B+R (ok. 2,5 mld zł) region lokuje się na 2. miejscu w kraju. Województwo
Małopolskie podejmuje również szereg działań mających na celu rozwiązanie
problemu związanego z zanieczyszczeniem środowiska. W celu jego ograniczenia
Sejmik Województwa Małopolskiego przyjął 1 lipca 2017 r. tzw. uchwały
antysmogowe dla Małopolski oraz osobną dla Krakowa, wprowadzając zakaz palenia w
piecach paliwem złej jakości. Małopolska stała się pierwszym regionem w Polsce,
który wprowadził takie uregulowania. Od 2015 r. Województwo, wspólnie z 62
partnerami, wdraża też projekt zintegrowany LIFE „Wdrażanie Programu ochrony
powietrza dla województwa małopolskiego – Małopolska w zdrowej atmosferze”,
którego celem jest przyspieszenie wdrażania działań służących poprawie jakości
powietrza, m.in. poprzez działalność eko-doradców wspierających mieszkańców w
procesie wymiany starych pieców i kotłów nie spełniających norm „Programu
ochrony powietrza”.
