The 7th edition of Innov’actions brought together 80 students, divided into 12 teams, on the Georges Charpak Provence campus. For 3 days, they experimented with collaborative innovation to find solutions around a central theme: preservation of life and digital sobriety.
Innov’actions 2023
Third-year students from the ISMIN program (Specialization in Microelectronics and Computer Engineering) and students from the Master of Science in Engineering in Information Systems Management at Aix-Marseille University jointly took on the Innov’actions challenge! 3 days to reflect, collaborate, innovate, and bring their ideas to life for preserving living things while integrating the concept of digital sobriety.
This hackathon aims to offer students the opportunity to develop a collaborative innovation project, and also to test a collective intelligence experiment on a real scale.
This year, two projects were recognized by a jury of professionals chaired by an alumna of the school, Philippine Windels from Morphée, a local gem based in Aix-en-Provence.
- The first prize was awarded to team 27 for “LBDS Le bruit du silence” (The Sound of Silence), a device for neutralizing noise and sound pollution in urban environments, designed to be affixed to windows.
- The “Coup de cœur” award was given to team 50 for “Fly’n’Clean”, a drone system designed to detect and remove waste from the ocean.
A big congratulations to all participants!
The Innov’actions Experience
Launched in 2016, this collaborative innovation initiative was born within the space and spirit of ID Fab. This competition is open to Master’s level students from PEPITE Provence member institutions, as well as students benefiting from the national student entrepreneur status (SNEE). For 3 days, mixed and multidisciplinary teams work on a collaborative innovation project. Their projects are then examined by a professional jury based on criteria related to inventiveness and originality, degree of innovation, realism, and the potential viability of the proposed solution.
Thanks to the Aix-Marseille-Provence Metropolis for its historical support of this initiative, Olivier Christol, Yann Chapus, the jury members, and the mobilized school teams.
