SUMMARY:INSPIRE Hackathon
DESCRIPTION:Depsite the COVID-19 pandemic and after approximately 2 months since its initation\, the Dubrovnik INSPIRE Hackathon 2020 ”Leveraging interoperable frameworks\, artificial intelligence and citizen science for Sustainable Development Goals was successfully concluded\, consisting of 12 individual challenges. \nOne of the key objectives of the hackathon was to promote collaboration and sharing of experience in the domain of spatial data/services and citizen-science while showcasing their utilisation and uptake to different application domains and themes. This includes also supporting the Sustainable Development Goals. WeObserve introduced and facilitated the organisation of three citizen-science challenges that attracted 35 participants coming from different fields of expertise and from 22 different countries all over the world. \nOn Thursday 11th June\, the results from the hackathon challenges were presented during the INSPIRE 2020 Online Conference\, showing what the teams have achieved in the weeks of virtual collaboration. This  workshop concluded with an announcement of the top three teams in an awards ceremony. One of the citizen-science challenges entitled as “Establish the connection of Citizen Observatories resources with central catalogue” was the winner of the second place! \nTo find out more about the citizen-science challenges\, please visit here.

SUMMARY:CODATA Essay competition: Open Data Challenges to Address Glibal and Societal Issues
DESCRIPTION:AN INVITATION TO TAKE PART IN THE CODATA CONNECT – DATA SCIENCE JOURNAL EARLY CAREER ESSAY COMPETITION  \n  \nThe first of its kind\, CODATA Connect Early Career and Alumni Network in collaboration with the CODATA Data Science Journal (DSJ) is organizing an Essay Competition for Early Career Researchers (ECR)\, defined as university undergraduate\, graduate\, post-graduate students or early career researchers within five years of completing their highest qualification. CODATA Connect exists to ensure a structural and sustained collaboration and support for the activities of the alumni of CODATA-RDA Summer Schools\, of the CODATA China and Trieste Training Workshops and other early career researchers and data professionals involved in the CODATA community and those of partner organisations. \nTopic for the Essay: “Open Data Challenges to Address Global and Societal Issues” \n\nParticipants interested in disseminating information on research data in the sciences\, humanities and the arts using essays as the medium are welcome to apply.\nTopics might include but not limited to human health\, climate change\, resilience\, etc.\nEssays which discuss the necessary limits in openness are also in scope and are welcome (e.g. personal health information\, indigenous sovereignty etc.)\nEssays that discuss the challenges in making data as open as possible and how such data can be used to address global and societal issues (Crime\, Disease\, Governance\, etc.)\nEssays might discuss challenges at any point in the data lifecycle and in relation to any of a number of global and societal challenges.\nWe discourage essays that simply present well known and generic arguments in favour of open data.\nEssays are encouraged to use local or specific examples for the benefits of open data and to discuss how challenges can be overcome in both specific circumstances and more globally.\n\nTo find out more on the criteria\, as well as the process to be followed\, visit the official website here.

SUMMARY:Want to Join the Fight Against COVID-19? Help Scientists With Their Coronavirus Research From Your Home
DESCRIPTION:Discover and SciStarter are hosting a live\, online Citizen Science Month event looking at three COVID-19 research projects that need your help.\n\nOn Wednesday\, April 15\, at 3 p.m. EDT\, Discover and SciStarter will host a live-streamed event on Zoom and Facebook to introduce you to three scientists leading COVID-19 citizen science projects that need your help. The event is part of Citizen Science Month. \nIn the discussion\, you’ll learn how to identify behaviors that influence risk; crowdsource the COVID-19 pandemic in real-time; play an online game to fold and design proteins for scientific research. \nAnna Funk\, associate editor of Discover magazine\, will moderate the discussion. We’ll provide step-by-step guides so we can get involved in real-time\, online\, together. You can create your SciStarter account (free) and get familiar with the three COVID-19 projects before the event by visiting SciStarter.org/COVID-19. You’ll also find the event live at Discover’s Facebook page\, facebook.com/DiscoverMag. \nHere are the projects that scientists will discuss: \nCOVID-19 Citizen Science – Take part\nScientists at the University of California\, San Francisco\, hope to enroll 1 million people in “real-time epidemiology” research. This program\, called COVID-19 Citizen Science (CCS)\, starts with an initial 15-minute survey about a volunteer’s health and daily habits. The program will follow up with subsequent questions throughout the study\, which will be sent via an app or text message. \nVolunteers can even offer up their GPS location and\, eventually\, highly detailed information like blood pressure\, weight\, blood oxygen levels\, body temperature\, exercise and sleep. That information would come through wearable devices like Fitbits. \nBy tracking a huge number of people over time\, the researchers hope to identify factors that change the risk of infection and what happens afterward. The more people get involved\, the more statistically significant the results will be. \nCOVID Near You – Take part\nHealth officials can’t fight the coronavirus pandemic without knowing where infections are. \nNow\, researchers have created a way to track people with COVID-19 symptoms\, even if they still can’t easily test and diagnose who actually has the disease. \nThe effort is called COVID Near You. Anyone in the U.S. can use the initiative’s website to self-report their location and how they’re feeling. The researchers work with national and local officials to monitor potential hot spots. \nFight COVID-19 with FoldIt – Take part\nYou wash your hands thoroughly and stifle your natural hugging urge\, but what else can you do to battle COVID-19? Join the FoldIt project! \nThere\, you will play a free online game in which the goal is to design an antiviral protein that targets the dangerous virus. \n  \n  \nFor more information\, visit here. \nFind more than 100 online events taking place this month at CitizenScienceMonth.org .
