CODATA/WDS: SciDataCon2014 ::Announcement of programme tracks CODATA Prize 2014: & Call for Nominations for Outstanding Achievement in the World of Scientific and Technical Data
by Mailing List Admin 03 Jun '14

03 Jun '14

Date: Tue, 3 Jun 2014 14:52:15 +0530 From: Usha Munshi <umunshi(a)gmail.com> Dear All!Please find some important information about the forthcoming International SciDataCon2014 conference. SciDataCon 2014, co-organised by CODATA and the ICSU World Data System. SciDataCon 2014 has announced programme tracks and extended the deadline for submissions to 16 June. The International Conference on Data Sharing and Integration for Global Sustainability (SciDataCon http://www.scidatacon2014.org/) is motivated by the conviction that the most significant research challenges - and in particular the pressing issues relating to global sustainability - cannot be properly addressed without due attention to various issues relating to data. SciDataCon aims to make explicit the connection between concrete and specific challenges to ensure environmental protection, economic prosperity and social well being along with the research questions that arise from these challenges and the necessary role of data policy, management and analysis in addressing these research questions. The effectiveness and credibility of research findings rely on the widest possible availability of quality-assessed and interoperable datasets. To achieve these aims, the SciDataCon programme will be structured around four 'tracks': (A) Dynamic Planet, (B) Global Development, (C) Transformations Towards Sustainability, and (D) Data Science and Services. This structure is intended to bridge cross-cutting data themes and the research themes of Future Earth futureearth.info an international research programme on global sustainability coordinated by ICSU, the International Council for Science, and other partners. By focusing on the intersection of data issues and scientific research challenges--and by advancing data science and developing international data services--SciDataCon will also amplify the message of like-minded global data initiatives promoting data sharing and interoperability, such as the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) and the recently established Research Data Alliance (RDA). *See http://www.scidatacon2014.org/submissions <http://www.scidatacon2014.org/submissions> for further details of the tracks and topics in scope, and to submit a proposal for a session or paper. The deadline for proposals has been extended to 16 June.* SciDataCon 2014 will take place on 2-5 November in New Delhi; it is being organised by the Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA) http://www.codata.org/blog/ and the World Data System (WDS) http://www.icsu-wds.org in collaboration with the Indian National Science Academy http://www.insaindia.org/ CODATA Prize 2014: Call for Nominations for Outstanding Achievement in the World of Scientific and Technical Data CODATA has announced the CODATA Prize 2014. The CODATA Prize is a major biennial award which: * acknowledges outstanding achievement in the world of scientific and technical data; * is given in recognition either of a one time achievement or of an achievement over time; * is given, in preference, to an individual; * recognizes work carried out in fields of importance to scientific and technical data, such as data management, evaluation, dissemination, access issues, international cooperation, knowledge discovery, archiving or related subjects.
