Announcement and Call for participation
The COA participants are welcome to the H2O Contest, and the outstanding participants will be rewarded with a bonus of 1500 Yuan. The Submission Deadline: July 11th, 2021
The competition will be held as an accompanying event of IEEE OES COA 2021 from July 14-17, 2021. Projects/products related to applications in the fields of Ocean Engineering, Water Informatics and Underwater Acoustics are particularly welcome.
This international competition has following two categories:
Category – I (Student Competition)
First category is student competition and invites teams of Ph.D., Master and undergraduate students to present demos of their innovative ideas/projects/products for applications in the fields of Ocean Engineering, Water Informatics and Underwater Acoustics.
Students willing to participate the contest will need to prepare following
l A technical abstract (1000~1500 words) describing the contest entry.
The technical abstract may include the technical description, the significance of the application addressed, implementation (software/hardware/algorithmic) details, any experimental results, and the technical references.
l A video demo (MUST) and a poster/physical demo (RECOMMENDED for mainland participants)
Video demo will be used for evaluation and will also be shared on the online page of the H2O competition. The poster/physical demo is strongly recommended for the interest of general audience. Poster/physical demo will be held in the same place as conference poster sessions.
l A video demo (for international participant)
Due to COVID-19 in the world, international participants may not be available to attend live demonstration session. Video demo will be used for evaluation and will also be shared on the online page of the H2O competition.
Category – II (Industry Competition)
Second category is industry competition and invites companies and startups to present demos of their innovative ideas/projects/products for applications in the field of Ocean Engineering, Water Informatics and Underwater Acoustics.
Those willing to participate will need to prepare following:
