Ericsson Innovation Awards is an open competition giving students from all around the world the opportunity to develop innovative ICT ideas in collaboration with Ericsson experts. The positive impact technological innovation can have on people, business and society is what has driven the people at Ericsson. In the EIA 2017 the challenge was to come up with technological innovations that will positively impact the future of food. We were one of the top 13 of 960 international teams.

The goal of the UAV Challenge is to demonstrate the utility of Unmanned Airborne Vehicles (UAVs) for civilian applications, particularly in those applications that will save the lives of people in the future. This is done by harnessing the ingenuity and passion of aero modellers, university students and high-school students around the world to develop novel and cost-effective solutions. The competition is being held annualy in Queensland, Australia since 2007.

AUVSI SUAS Competition is designed to foster interest in Unmanned Aerial Systems, stimulate interest in UAS technologies and careers, and to engage students in a challenging UAS mission. The competition requires students to design, integrate, report on, and demonstrate a UAS capable of autonomous flight and navigation, remote sensing via onboard sensors, and execution of a specific set of tasks. The competition is being held annually since 2002.
