[open-science] Vici Competition: Targeted Content Track: Water Resources & Ecology - design apps and win prizes!

[Marieke Guy]

Hi Everyone,

Some of you may be interested in a focused track we are running as part 
of the LinkedUp Vici Competition <http://linkedup-challenge.org>. For 
those not familiar with the project - LinkedUp 
<http://linkedup-project.eu> aims to get people and institutions using 
public, open data available on the Web in educational ways - and is 
doing this through a series of prototype and app development 
competitions. Those who participate participate can win prizes, make 
great contacts and showcase their ideas and solutions to a key community 
of researchers and practitioners in the education field.

For the Vici Competition <http://linkedup-challenge.org> (now open with 
a submission deadline of *5 September*) we have two Focused Tracks that 
have been designed to run alongside the open track. They comprise of a 
Focused Track and a Targeted Content Track. These tracks are looking for 
prototypes that solve a particular problem.

The *Targeted Content Track: Water Resources & Ecology* will hopefully 
be of interest to the open science community.

This track involves enhancing journal article content along with related 
research statistics and datasets to assist in discovery, learning and 
interpretation of disparate content and data. There are a selection of 
openly licensed data sets for use in the challenge.

If you have any questions about the Vici Competition (requirements, data 
sets, ideas etc.) do not hesitate to get in touch 
<mailto:contact at linkedup-challenge.org>.

Thanks

Marieke
