[open-sustainability] Open sustainability science + Cleanweb taxonomy

Wed Jul 17 10:18:34 UTC 2013

Hi Adrien!

Thanks, yep, attended both those conferences, and would be great to use their outputs for such an agenda. Open science itself is only one part of the open sustainability agenda, but a key one. Let's see how this Cape Town workshop progresses for inspiration.

On a related note, there are initial discussions of developing a taxonomy of Cleanweb projects around the world, i.e. using the Web for sustainability and particularly to deal with resource constraints. If anyone wants to participate in this effort to categorise, please get in touch.

Hi Jenny, Hi Jack,

I would be very interested to contribute (at my level) in developing such a research agenda. I am not sure how much has been done in that respect. It could be a good start to check the outcomes of the ICT for sustainability conference in Zurich in February (http://2013.ict4s.org/) and the conference in Galway in June (http://www.conference.ie/Conferences/menu.asp?menu=1163&Conference=205)... did you participate to one of those?

Best,
Adrien

Would be great to do something like this workshop to develop an agenda for open science for environmental sustainability (i.e. open sustainability science). Look forward to hearing how the Cape Town event goes.

Subject: [open-science] Open Science for Development Project

Dear All

We are delighted to announce that OKF is collaborating with the OpenUCT Initiative at the University of Cape Town in an International Development Research Centre funded project to develop a southern led research agenda for open science for development.

We hope to use this as an opportunity not only to explore research into open science but also to really push community building efforts in the global south and identify a strong network of open science advocates and practitioners - maybe setting up some new local open science groups along the way!

You can read more in out project proposal:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UGgPpd7PQtYuX-mOGE58fEbXVJgohs4O_XiBrBZph8k/edit

A small group met in London last week to set the ground work for a larger workshop in Cape Town 11-13 September 2013 and the results of that meeting will be available online shortly.

We hope you are as excited about this opportunity as we are and in the spirit of the exercise we will be making both the process and outcomes as open as possible. Therefore, if you would like to apply to participate in the Cape Town meeting please send us a brief half page introduction to yourself including answers to the following questions:

  *   Why is this project of interest?

  *   What expertise and experience do you bring?

  *   What would you like to see come out of this project?

Preference will be given to participants from developing countries in order to further the aims of the project and full funding will be provided.

There is a short deadline of 24 July 2013 so please spread this invitation through your networks, particularly contacts you might have in the global south. If selected, we will organise travel and flights as soon as possible.

Best wishes

Jenny
