CODATA, the ISCU Committee on Data for Science and Technology, invites proposals for new Task Groups and offers existing Task Groups the opportunity to renew their activity.
Task Groups have been established to support CODATA’s overall mission to strengthen international science for the benefit of society by promoting improved scientific and technical data management and use. More specifically, Task Groups must remain relevant in a fast changing environment and contribute to the realisation of CODATA’s strategic objectives and activities, as articulated in the CODATA Strategic Plan, 2013-18. For Task Groups seeking to renew their activities for a further two years, a strong case must be made for the ongoing benefits of this activity, for well-conceived and valuable future objectives as well as part achievements.
Details of how proposals will be evaluated, the responsibilities of Task Groups and how CODATA supports Task Groups are provided at http://codata.org/blog/
Submissions should be made on the appropriate form for New Task Groups Proposals http://codata.org/blog/2013/
The submission process is as follows:
Preliminary Submissions due 14 February 2014

Such draft proposals should be submitted on appropriate form to Simon Hodson, CODATA Executive Director atexecdir@codata.org no later than 14 February 2014.
