Research Data Alliance: Plenary 6 and Climate Change Data Challenge

As you may already know, the 6th Plenary of the Research Data Alliance will take place in Paris from 23-25 September 2015. This Plenary has a special focus on research data for climate change, and Cap Digital and the Research Data Alliance have created a Data Challenge to bring together data sets related to climate change with organisations that have practical applications for these data sets.

If you are a holder of data sets in one of the Challenge’s three focus areas, air quality, energy, and urban activity, you can submit data sets, preferably together with some indication of possible applications that might constitute a challenge goal, by the 21st of May, 2015.  

The submission needs to contain your contact details, a description of the data set(s) you want to submit, including title, creators & contributors, publisher & location, type & format, size/volume, and identifiers if any, an indication of possible applications that might constitute a challenge, and (optionally) any further, practical details regarding your data. Please note, these data sets do not need to be global data sets.

Please contact either p6-challenge@rd-alliance.org or Stefanie.Kethers@ands.org.au if you would like help with submitting data sets, or have any questions!
