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: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.

SUMMARY:Bridging the gap between Science and Society through Citizen Science
DESCRIPTION:Description and Scope \nCitizen science interventions are becoming more and more relevant across all scientific disciplines and the humanities and it can potentially bring a wide variety of benefits to researchers\, citizens\, policy makers and society across the research and innovation cycle. Nevertheless\, there are difficulties setting up citizen science initiatives\, for example in terms of choosing the optimum methodologies and ensuring balanced participation of citizens. \nThe Webinar aims at introducing the REINFORCE project to the European Research community and to the broad public of potential citizen scientists\, focusing mostly on the four Citizen Science Demonstrators that will be developed within the project. REINFORCE will create a series of cutting-edge citizen science projects on frontier Physics research\, with citizen scientists making a genuine and valued contribution to managing the data avalanche\, with the aim of reaching the following impacts: \n\nGenerating a change in awareness and understanding of basic research and its impact on society;\nDeveloping new knowledge and innovations by citizens;\nOffering availability of evaluation data concerning the societal\, democratic and economic costs and benefits of citizen science; and\nMaking available indicators to measure the impact of citizen science activities.\n\nMain Takeaways: \n\nUnderstanding what is the potential of citizen science for society\nDiscovering the benefits of integrating citizens input in frontier Physics research\nKeeping abreast with the research work carried out within Large Research Infrastructures\n\nWho should attend: \n\nEU Research community in Physics field\nPotential citizen scientists\nGravitational Wave Astronomy researchers and academics\nNeutrino Astronomy researchers and academics\nHigh Energy and Cosmic Rays Physics experts\nMarine life experts\n\nTo find out more information as well as the agenda please visit here.
