ISPE Thailand Affiliate Holds Its First Student & Young Professionals Hackathon
On 20-21 November 2020, ISPE Thailand Affiliate held the first Student & YP Hackathon at the Mandarin Hotel, Bangkok. The competition was organized by ISPE Student & YP Members, all of them volunteers. 50 students and young professionals entered the competition. The challenges were around providing COVID-19 vaccines for Thai residents by year 2021. Each team had one full day and night to deliver their work and present it to the judges, all of whom are experts in bio-pharmaceutical processes in Thailand. The teams all worked hard, applied knowledge from previous activities (project management training and a Bio plant tour, which were prerequisites for participating in the Hackathon), and delivered fantastic presentations. The winning team showcased their innovation/creativity on the solutions with realistic technical feasibility.
Congratulations to all – the winning team and all participants of the first ISPE Thailand Student & Young Professional Hackathon 2020!
