[Board] Open Geoscience budget proposal 2022

[Peter Löwe]

Dear Angelos,

the "Open Science Awards" are currently just a concept. This item was added to the budget propsal pre-Covid, with the intent to develop such a concept for conferences like EGU GA and AGU similar to other formats for early career scientists (https://www.egu.eu/awards-medals/division-outstanding-ecs-award/). Since the AGU/EGU events were virtualised due to Covid, there has been no effort up to my knwoledge to go ahead. Because of the Omicron wave, EGU GA 2022 has been rescheduled to the end of May as a hybrid event, but I see a risk that the event has to be completely virtualised again, which might postpone the advancement towards Open Science awards further. Once we can go ahead and develop a concept for such Awards at EGU/AGU, the Board will of course be consulted timely for guidance.

Please note that since the beginning of the Pandemic no expenses of any kind have been claimed by the Open Geoscience group.  

Best,
Peter
