ISTANBUL INNOVATION CAMP - LAST DAY

As the camp was ending, we did the Bosphorus Tour with a magnificent view of the coastal side of Istanbul.

To conclude the camp, students pitched their ideas in front of an international jury. The team made up of students from Norway and Germany placed first among the teams examined by the jury at the last stage of the camp. We congratulate all participating students for their outstanding efforts.

Using the jury’s feedback, students will further elaborate their ideas by creating prototypes in the months after the innovation camp. The prototyping cycle is concluded by demo-casing the novel prototypes in end-user environments.

ISTANBUL INNOVATION CAMP -DAY 2-
🌩 💡 🙌
On the second day of the innovation camp, we had four short lectures on the digitalization of the water sector. Dr. Abhilash Nair (DOSCON AS) discussed the digital tools in the water sector while Emel Tüfekçi (Istanbul Water and Sewerage Administration-ISKI) focused on applications in Turkey of the same topic. Then, Dr. Sebnem Koyunluoglu Aynur and Dr. Cihangir Aydöner (TUBITAK MAM) gave a short lecture together about one of the case studies of the SMART4ENV Horizon Europe Project, regarding the assessment of soil organic carbon and moisture content using remote sensing. Dr. Katharina Pilar Von Pilchau and Alexandra Schaefer from University of Applied Sciences and Arts talked about a co-creative method for new solutions in water management using lego.
We used a drone to take a group photo and a video in front of the Hezarfen Ahmed Celebi statue on the ITU campus. The DIGIWATER team took a technical excursion to the ISKI Agva Advanced Biological Wastewater Treatment Plant, which contains digital monitoring equipment for tanks housing membrane bioreactors and activated sludge.
After stakeholder presentations, students first came up with solutions to cybersecurity issues in brainstorming sessions. Then, using an innovation canvas model, the students went on to further develop and organize their ideas. The challenge groups were supported by a number of ITU-MEMTEK Research Center students who were present.

ISTANBUL INNOVATION CAMP -DAY 1-
💡
The focus of the 3-day Istanbul innovation camp, hosted by ITU - MEMTEK Research Center and Memsis Çevre Teknolojileri AR-GE A.Ş. was on the management of natural and man-made catastrophes in the water sector using digital concepts. This is particularly relevant given the recent earthquakes in Turkey, as well as the global increase in cybersecurity attacks.
After the staff meeting on the first day of the camp, ITU Vice Rector Prof. Lutfiye Durak-Ata hosted the project staff at lunch.
The camp's opening address was delivered by Assist. Prof. Mehmet Emin Paşaoğlu (ITU-MEMTEK) on behalf of Prof. ısmail Koyuncu. Assist. Prof. Selda Murat Hocaoglu (TÜBİTAK MAM) gave introductory remarks and served as the chair of the brainstorming session.
Prof. Enver Ozdemir (ITU), Adnan Baykal (CEO&Co-founder of CyberWA, Inc. (USA)), Prof. Harsha Ratnaweera (NMBU-project coordinator), and Assoc. Prof. Ismail Dabanli (ITU) offered in-depth lectures on camp topics. Dr. Vincent Wolfs (SumAqua) presented 5 prototypes that were created at Leuven Innovation Camp.
Assoc. Prof. Zakhar Maletskyi (NMBU) discussed the process and results to be expected from an innovation camp. The brainstorming session organized as a World Café, a crucial component of the camp, was then guided by him using GroupMap. Prof. Pierre Berube (UBC-CA) attended as an observer at the camp and as chair at the “Identification/early warning system” table. The co-chairs were Laurentiu Luca (SmarTech Automation), and Prof. Vahid Vatanpour (Kharazmi University & İTÜ). The "cyber-attacks" table was led by Dr. Vincent Wolfs, with Jascanu Veronica (SmarTech Automation-project partner), and Assoc. Prof. Kubra Ulucan-Altuntas (ITU), serving as co-chair. Dr. Selda Murat Hocaoglu is the chair of the third opinion table on “response options”, while the co-chairs are project partners Katharina Pilar Von Pilchau (Technische Hochschule Ostwestfalen-Lippe) and Dr. Abhilash Nair (DOSCON AS) did it.
Students first generated ideas to tackle these problems in brainstorming sessions, which were preceded by stakeholder presentations. After this, students further detailed and structured their ideas based on a Business Model Canvas. Sevde Korkut (ITU-MEMTEK) then gave a quick explanation utilizing Innovation Canvas Model. The joint dinner was organized at Baltalimani Social Facilities with all participants.

📣 In May 2022, the Digiwater consortium held its second physical meeting. We held a hybrid meeting led by NMBU in the IFAT 2022 organization held in Munich. IFAT is the world’s largest exhibition in the water sector with over 3000 exhibitors, and there are many activities beyond digital water. EWA - European Water Association, which is our umbrella partner, had a booth and offered free entrance tickets to .

In the hybrid meeting, the partners had the chance to describe the last point reached in their work packages so far. The consortium also highlighted the actions planned for the coming months and presented the workflow for each task of the project.

There was a social event called “Bayerischer Abend” which takes place at Löwenbräukeller (traditional Bavarian brewery).
