An “Ecological Mobility” hackathon has been held at Mingachevir State University (MDU).

The event was jointly organized by the Department of Energy and the Department of Physics and Ecology. The main objective was to promote sustainable development principles, strengthen ecological approaches in the transportation sector, and support students in developing innovative ideas in the field of green technologies.

Within the hackathon, participants analyzed existing urban mobility challenges and worked on developing cleaner, more efficient, and sustainable transportation models. Teams designed innovative projects in areas such as the implementation of electric and hybrid vehicles, use of alternative energy sources, reduction of carbon emissions, development of cycling and pedestrian infrastructure, and smart transportation systems.

One of the distinguishing features of the event was that participants integrated technology with ecology to propose solutions applicable to real urban environments. They not only presented ideas but also considered practical implementation, economic feasibility, and long-term impact.

During the hackathon, participants worked intensively in teams, transforming their ideas into well-developed projects within a short period. This process contributed significantly to enhancing their analytical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills.

At the final stage, teams presented their projects to the jury panel. The evaluation was based on criteria such as innovation, environmental impact, feasibility, and sustainability. The most successful and promising projects were specially recognized, and participants received recommendations for further development.

It should be noted that the “Ecological Mobility” hackathon serves as an important initiative in promoting environmental responsibility among students, encouraging green technology thinking, and fostering an innovative academic environment.
