In this tab,you can find all the relevant information for your submission. The following contents must be submitted for participation.
How to submit
- Submission template (mandatory)
A standard template is available. The template will help you structure your solutions and approaches and provide answers to all relevant questions and frameworks. Download the Submission Template here - optional content
You can try to stand out and also supplement your submission with prototypes, image and video materials, or other concepts or visual elements - simply submit these files additionally via our platform.
Mandatory Questions
- Which specific populations are particularly considered in the proposed solution, and why were they selected and are thus particularly vulnerable to heat waves?
- What are the specific health conditions that play a significant role and how can the relevant data be collected efficiently?
- Which preventive measures, warning systems and concepts can be derived from these findings and which stakeholders should be involved in implementing these measures and how?
Criteria & guidelines
No cooling systems
General measures for cooling systems are out of scope.
Region
Indicate the specific regions or countries where the solution is intended to be implemented, including any relevant regional factors that may impact the solution's effectiveness.
Target market
Clearly identify the target market for the solution, including demographic information, infrastructure needed and business opportunities as well as any other relevant factors related to feasibility..
Scalability
Consider whether the solution is scalable and can be implemented on a larger scale, as well as any potential challenges to scaling up the solution.
Data security
Ensure that the solution includes appropriate measures to protect user data and comply with relevant data protection laws (like European guidelines for data protection) and regulations.
User experience
Consider the user experience of the solution, including ease of use, effectiveness, and any potential barriers to adoption especially for the targeted group of people.
