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:Join the Open Data Challenge
DESCRIPTION:With the acceleration of climate change\, addressing environmental challenges has never been more urgent. More people now than ever before have direct experience of the increased pressure on our planet. They are calling for better protection for local issues that have an impact in their lives\, from extreme events such as flooding and wild-fires to pollution. At the same time\, people have to global concerns related to the wise use and regeneration of natural assets\, biodiversity loss and risks such as food security. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnvironmental data can help to address these issues. As a result of citizens coming together with scientists and other stakeholders there is a growing amount of high-quality and open data to apply to these challenges. There are opportunities to merge open datasets from local governments and data from these Citizen Science projects to produce new and exciting data products. \nWe see innovation potential in developing technologies\, services and models e.g. in land management\, biodiversity trackers\, pollution monitoring\, agriculture and disaster response. There are also opportunities to support people’s values by removing barriers\, such as conflicting attitudes and responsibilities\, lack of time\, trust or space\, or providing training and incentives to solve local issues through pro environmental action. It is clear that we all have a role to play and there is a great deal that needs to be done. \n\n\nWeObserve is opening data from four Citizen Observatories (GROW\, GroundTruth 2.0\, LandSense\, SCENT) to create new digital transformation opportunities by using open data for products\, services that can be implemented for wider social good. There are a few key events that make up our Open Data Challenge: Team registration\, Consent for access to online datasets\, Challenge themes and opportunities\, Guidance from a mentor\, submission and demonstration at a final event. Each of these events are free and open to all. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo register or find out more about the Open Data Challenge\, please visit here.
