3.Name of award and short explanation about the award
(Name) 1st place in All-Student Teams at the first United Nations AIS Big Data Hackathon
(Explanation) Participating in the AIS Bigdata Hackathon hosted by United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), and achieving the 1st place among 17 all-student teams.

4.About awarded research
AIS Hackathon is a three-day event, focusing on exploring novel findings by using 3.6TB AIS data. AIS data is collected by equipment installed in ships, consisting of static information, such as total weight of ships and built year, and dynamic information collected every few seconds or minutes, such as speed and destination. All members including Mr. Hoshi Tagawa (Tokyo Tech) and Mr. Takumi Kamata (Hirosima Univ.) from our research team are conducting AIS-related research. During AIS Hackathon, the influence of COVID-19 on vessel movement is revealed. Based on findings from various perspectives, we are able to win the first place among all-student teams.

5.Your impression & future plan
This award is an impetus for us to continue doing our best in the following research.
