Techlab Hackathon \u2013 great success for Students of the University of Veterinary Medicine Budapest<\/strong><\/p>

 <\/p>

The Hungarian Chamber of Agriculture\u2019s Techlab Hackathon<\/em> competition was held recently at Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design. The programme\u2019s long-term goal is to modernize and digitalize agriculture.<\/p>

Lasting at least for 24 hours, hackathons are designed to allow competing teams to develop and present their ideas. The participants need to come up with an idea\/solution for a specific challenge in each hackathon. This year\u2019s event focused on animal husbandry with every aspect that could greatly improve the conditions of animal farming (e.g., reduce the use of antibiotics, optimize energy and foodstuff consumption, etc.).<\/p>

The University of Veterinary Medicine Budapest was represented by two student teams. Team CowOp included third-year veterinary students Hajnalka Liptai, Zs\u00f3fia P\u00e1l and Vir\u00e1g Szentgy\u00f6rgyi \u2013 they obtained the first place with their idea. Team ChromatAir (with third-year veterinary students Franciska Barn\u00e1cz, \u00c1gnes P\u00f3nya, Gergely Tam\u00e1s and Bence Csirmaz) earned the jury\u2019s special award.<\/p>

Beside getting an insight into the business and gaining some experience in investment, the winning teams were also given valuable prizes. As the winner of the first prize, Team CowOp received travel coupons and electronics gift cards as well as agricultural conference tickets and annual magazine subscriptions. Special prize winner ChromatAir got an invitation to a factory tour.<\/p>

The jury had such distinguished members as Dr. Anik\u00f3 Juh\u00e1sz, the deputy state secretary for agrarian economy in the Ministry of Agriculture; Hungarian Chamber of Agriculture\u2019 president Bal\u00e1zs Gy\u0151rffy; AgroVIR\u2019s managing director Mikl\u00f3s Mar\u00f3ti and SMAPP Lab co-founder Don\u00e1t Posta.<\/p>

The 1st prize was taken home by Team CowOp<\/em> founded by University of Veterinary Medicine Budapest (UVMB) students, who developed the idea of a system to support the mutually beneficial trade of cows and pregnant heifers de-selected from dairy production between large industrial units and small family farms.<\/p>

Special prize winner ChromatAir designed a diagnostic system with chromatographic technology. Integrated into the ventilation system of poultry farms, the solution can be instrumental in the early diagnosis of infectious diseases.<\/p>

Team ChromatAir was also among the winners of this year\u2019s Hungarian Startup University Program (HSUP) that was launched by the National Research, Development and Innovation Office as part of UVMB\u2019s Innovation Ecosystem Project. Under the name of Innovation Management 1 and 2, our university offers an optional e-learning subject designed to develop innovative thinking. During the course\u2019s second semester, the selected 3-5-member project teams receive significant grants for four months.<\/p>

Launched with 76 students last year, the highly successful optional course involved 34 people in the second semester. The owners of the 5 winner projects started the development of their ideas. This year\u2019s first semester began with 25 students, 19 of whom went on to the second semester. 3 project ideas were given funding altogether. As the subject is integrated into the national curriculum, it allows for the creation of inter-university teams, promoting the innovative cooperation and brainstorming of students from different professional areas.<\/p>
