A NASA "Nyílt innováció" programja

A GSDI Legal and SocioEcon szakbizottsági listáján Kate Lance PhD (Yale Egyetem) adta közre az alábbi közérdekű figyelemfelhívást. Akiket érdekelnek a hasonló lehetőségek, regisztráljanak a GSDI legalul megadott hírleveire. Költségmentes! 

"NASA is seeking researchers to evaluate technology design contests, and to use data analytics to formulate better challenges, according to a new solicitation. 

The agency is attempting to examine its "Open Innovation" programs -- often large, crowdsourced design challenges open to the public. NASA is looking for research on the "empirically-validated science" of open innovation tournaments, such as the "design parameters" that could encourage innovation, among other information.

See notice: NASA Open Innovation Research 

https://prod.nais.nasa.gov/cgibin/eps/synopsis.cgi?acqid=166748

Solicitation Number: NNH15HEOMD002L

Response deadline: September 2, 2015 

The research will apply both to NASA and other government agencies. According to the solicitation for sources, the team NASA selects should be able to, among other tasks:

Provide presentations and training to educate federal employees on using open innovation

Evaluate the architecture, and scoring mechanisms, of open innovation challenges

List plans to use data science to design open innovation challenges 

NASA has been experimenting with open innovation for several years. For instance, since 2012, the space agency has hosted a series of "Space Apps" challenges during which participants use publicly released open data to make apps that could potentially be useful to the agency.

Citizen generated data - DataShift pilot-project pályázati felhívások

Kép forrása: DataShift Briefing Note a Civicus.org weboldalán

Kate Lance PhD, (Yale Egyetem) írja a GSDI regionális hírleveleiben illetve a Legal and SocioEcon szakbizottság körlevelében az alábbi figyelemfelhívást. 
Közreadása három okból is közérdekű:
- lehetőségre hívja fel a figyelmet,
-a napjainka egyre inkább érvényesülő trend a tárgya,
- és nem utolsó sorban az, hogy minél több hazai érdeklődő regisztráljon az egyébként ingyenes előfizetésre, mellyel a jövőben rendszeresen hozzájuthat releváns információkhoz és kapcsolódjon be a GSDI szakmai közösségébe. A szervezetnek egyéni tagjai is lehetnek.

"DataShift ( http://civicus.org/thedatashift/ ) launched three calls for researchers based in three DataShift pilot locations: Argentina, East Africa (Tanzania and Kenya), and Nepal. The research will focus on the long-term impact of citizen-generated data initiatives. 

The deadline for submissions for this research project has been extended until 18.00 CEST on Wednesday, 19th August 2015. 

DataShift sees citizen-generated data as data that people or their organisations produce to directly monitor, demand or drive change on issues that affect them. It is actively given by citizens, providing direct representations of their perspectives and an alternative to datasets collected by governments or international institutions. See recently published DataShift briefing that explains what citizen generated data is and why it is important at: http://civicus.org/images/ER%20cgd_brief.pdf

This scope of work is projected to include:

- Identification of at least five (preferably ongoing or completed) citizen-generated data initiatives based in the respective pilot locations that address issues relevant to the Sustainable Development Goals. Selection of initiatives will be determined in consultation with the DataShift team.

- An in-depth assessment of each initiative’s long-term or ongoing impact, looking especially at:

Use of the data: Has the data been used by policy makers, civil society organisations or other actors – and if so, how?

Data quality: Are any levels of verification built into the initiative? How sound is the data, particularly if it comes from multiple sources?

Sustainability of the initiative: What is the initiative’s projected lifespan? Is this clearly indicated? Are there plans to maintain the initiative’s online presence after the period of data collection ends?

Local context: How is data on the topics that citizen-generated data initiatives address received at the local level: is it considered to be trustworthy?

- A summary of key findings and trends, drawn from the assessed initiatives.

Potential researchers for this contract should submit their CV together with an indicative budget and two-page statement on how they would approach this piece of work and their relevant experience. Bids should be sent by 18.00 CEST on Wednesday 19th August.

The maximum budget for the work is USD2,500. For more details, please see the links below for the calls for proposals:

We invite abstracts addressing the following topics: Data acquisition - Airborne, Terrestrial and Bathymetric LIDAR Applications/Integration of LiDAR, photogrammetry, survey data and dense image matching UAV/UAS developments & applications with a particular focus on precision measurement collection LIDAR point clouds & large data sets Data fusion and processing technologies Engineering collaboration systems and cloud-hosted data management Developments in point data classification and GIS modeling Trends and new technology development Mobile mapping and survey Industry issues Recent project examples The ILMF Advisory Board will review each abstract and the final program will be announced in November. Abstracts are encouraged by users of hardware and software, e.g., professionals from government entities, process & power companies and the like. Vendors are welcome to nominate end user customers. Please: no abstracts promoting products for marketing purposes. The success of ILMF 2015, which saw more than 800 professional attendees from 27 countries, proved once again that LiDAR, in its increasing variety of operational formats either alone or when complementing other technologies, is becoming a critically important technology for fast, accurate and quality geospatial data acquisition. Whether supporting highly detailed 3D urban mapping projects, forestry management, or railroad and power transmission line maintenance programs, LiDAR technology delivers the results needed by today's demanding geospatial and mapping professionals.  Please submit abstract by September 1 using this form:    Submission Form    If you would like to learn more, please contact Linda McLaughlin, Conference Program Manager, at lmclaughlin@divcom.com or call +1 207-842-5674 or go to lidarmap.org/international."
