ActInSpace is an international innovation contest initiated by the French Space Agency (CNES) and supported by the European Space Agency and the ESA’s Business Incubation Centres network. It has been held since 2018. On November 13-14, 2020 around 3600 competitors from 61 cities took part in the hackathon.

This autumn is full of new competitions and initiatives from Noosphere. We recently told you about Noosphere Engineering Race, a brand new method of robotics competition in Ukraine based on the American VEX construction. In this article, we present another original contest – Noosphere Art Rocket Park.

The Vernadsky Challenge is a unique engineering startup competition, organized by Noosphere since 2015. This year, Noosphere continued the same competition format from the year before – with a focus on active bioelectronics and space technology projects.

On September 10, the first stage of the Vernadsky Challenge engineering startup competition was completed. This year, the international competition became even more global. The number of applications almost doubled compared to 2019. The organizers received 132 applications from 36 countries.
