Deadline: 11-Jul-22
The Copernicus Masters is seeking applications for its German Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport (BMDV) Digital Transport & Mobility Challenge.
The German Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport (BMDV) is looking for solutions that use Copernicus data to solve major challenges faced by transport systems.
Transport and mobility need to become future-proof, intelligent and sustainable. They are looking for:
- innovative ideas to make traffic safer for everyone (e.g. traffic management, autonomous driving, barrier-free routing)
- creative solutions for sustainable mobility (e.g. sharing solutions, disruption management, apps to combine different modes of transport),
- climate-friendly freight and logistic solutions (e.g. optimised traffic routes, monitoring and reduction of emissions),
- new concepts to monitor transport infrastructure (e.g. monitoring of bridges, roads and tracks, early warning systems).
Funding Information
- Cash Prize: The winner will receive a cash prize worth EUR 5,000.
- Cloud computing: 6 months access to the cloud computing platform CODE-DE and advanced training. Winners are invited to upload and publish their algorithms on CODE-DE.
- Network: Access to DLR business networks
- Event: Attendance and presentation at a transport related event of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) (if eligible).
- ESA BIC Incubation: The winner will be able to apply for admission to an ESA BIC based in Germany. Your application will be consulted by the ESA BIC Bavaria. Upon successful approval the winner is eligible for EUR 50,000 incentive funding by ESA.
- Additional Reward for the Overall Winner 2022
- Cash Prize: EUR 10,000 if your concept gets selected as Copernicus Masters 2022 Overall Winner
Eligibility Criteria
Your submitted solutions can target any mode of transportation to solve challenges at a local, national or international level. The concepts should demonstrate the added value of Copernicus data and services. Participants are encouraged to use Copernicus data along with additional data sources such as traffic information, or other mobility-related data. With the mCLOUD, the BMDV provides an access point to open data in the field of transportation in Germany.
