On Supply Chain Day, the 1st Logistics Hackathon was held as a part of the Erasmus+ Jean Monnet Module project "Logistics and Supply Chain Management: Spreading European Experience".
The main goal of the 1st Logistical Hackathon was to find unique solutions to one of the most pressing logistics problems in the industry today - unprofitability of rail transportation of passengers in Ukraine. The students received this task from the General Partner of the event - JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia".
Students of different specialties and institutes of the Polytechnic worked to solve the problem and search for opportunities to increase income from suburban passenger transportation. More than 270 participants from 58 teams together with 1st Logistics Hakhathon mentors generated 420 ideas and selected 58 of the most interesting ones.
In the final of the Hackathon, 4 teams of students from 4 institutes of the Lviv Polytechnic National University (INEM, IBIS, IPPO, ITRE) met and presented their ideas to the jury and everyone present.
We sincerely congratulate the students of the "Northern Express" team (Institute of Telecommunications, Radio Electronics and Electronic Engineering) - Oleksandr Yatsyshin, Pavel Makogon, Andriy Pryhoda, who became the winners according to the results of the professional jury.
The participants gained valuable practice in solving logistical issues, studied European experience, and the best solutions created during the Hackathon have a high chance of being implemented.
