**<u>The topic</u>**

**💡 ** **Full Stack Applications 💡**

Develop a Full Stack solution using the InterSystems IRIS, InterSystems IRIS For Health, or IRIS Cloud Service as a backend. By full stack we mean a frontend web or mobile application which inserts, updates, or deletes data in InterSystems IRIS via REST API, Native API, ODBC/JDBC, or Embedded Python.

What's more?

This time we decided to invite developers to try their skills in solving one of the global challenges. We encourage you to join this contest with solutions focused on tackling climate change issues:  
1) You will receive a special bonus if your application can solve problems related to global warming and climate change.   
2) There will also be another bonus if you prepare and submit to Open Exchange a dataset related to the global warming and climate change.

So! We’re looking forward to your innovative contributions for an even more sustainable world. Hone your digital skills to develop solutions for climate issues!

**General Requirements:**

  1. Accepted applications: new to Open Exchange apps or existing ones, but with a significant improvement. Our team will review all applications before approving them for the contest.
  2. The application should work either on [IRIS Community Edition](http://hub.docker.com/_/intersystems-iris-data-platform/plans/222f869e-567c-4928-b572-eb6a29706fbd?tab=instructions) or [IRIS for Health Community Edition](https://hub.docker.com/_/intersystems-iris-for-health/plans/80ae1325-d535-484e-8307-b643c2865dd8?tab=instructions) or [IRIS Advanced Analytics Community Edition](https://hub.docker.com/_/intersystems-iris-data-platform/plans/222f869e-567c-4928-b572-eb6a29706fbd?tab=instructions).
