On February 7 - 9, the University of Latvia's Institute of Solid State Physics (ISSP UL) hosted the Latvian high-tech hackathon Deep Science Hackathon 2020, where participants in interdisciplinary teams, along with mentors, developed five ideas and presented them to the jury, scientists and potential investors. Within 48 hours, students and professionals worked together to develop new high-tech ideas based on smart materials. In total, nine ideas were submitted to the Deep Science Hackathon, five of which were successfully completed by the end of the event. Teams came up with ideas, such as a sheep wool filter for water purification, an application that helps to get out of a building or a ferry in case of emergency, a GPS animal-strap that works using heat of animals body. Electric Eel, in turn, came up with the idea of an autonomous robot that disinfects water supply systems. The ISSP UL team, which is organizing hackathons for the fifth time, also participated with their idea
