[ESIP-all] FW: [ISPC SciDataCon 2014] SciDataCon 2014: Submissions for Oral Presentations and Sessions Invited

Tue Apr 8 09:28:08 EDT 2014

Chaitan et al.--

Session proposals on the benefits and challenges of open data would 
certainly be welcome, especially if they draw on experiences from or 
relevant to India, south Asia, developing countries, etc. Given the 
conference theme on data sharing and integration for global 
sustainability, there needs to be a strong emphasis in the conference 
on the ways in which local, national, and regional data can be 
combined and integrated to support sustainability science, inform 
decision making, and enable achievement of sustainable development 
goals. Since the level of openness and data sharing varies 
substantially between disciplines and sectors, identifying examples of 
progress in access and integration as well as important barriers is 
essential. We anticipate that SciDataCon will be a prominent event 
within India and in south Asia more generally, so we do think this is 
an excellent opportunity to foster awareness of open access trends in 
other regions and globally and in a variety of disciplines.

We hope that you and others will consider submitting proposals for 
organized sessions as well as individual papers. If you happen to know 
anyone on the Local Organizing Committee 
(http://www.scidatacon2014.org/local-committee) it might also be worth 
getting in touch to see if there would be interest in putting together 
sessions that include both Indian and international presenters.

Cheers, Bob
