Earlier in February, Atlantic Technological University (ATU) hosted the 4th INVENT FOR THE PLANET, #IFTP event in Ireland and, as usual, the Marine Institute was delighted to be involved. Overall 36+ Universities participated from 22 countries, and just under 1500 students across the globe. Ireland had students from 7 Irish Universities. The top 5 teams will get to present their idea at Texas A&M, for a €10,000 prize. Marine Institute staff assisted with organising, mentoring, sponsorship, and judging. It was inspiring to be working with the brightest of the next generation as they faced the 48-hour challenge to develop solutions to global problems, including sustainably developing the blue bio-economy. Well done and thank you to Dr Jack Saad – who was the driving force and energy behind this event at ATU. Along with all the sponsors, mentors, organisers, and students who participated.
