[Ica-osgeo-labs] Scholarships

Thu Aug 21 06:30:01 PDT 2014

Hi Jeroen,

Sure, we are going to allow everyone in the lab network  to put their ideas. The only reason, I thought to start setting a small committee (around 5+ the 3 Presidents) is that we can have a group in place to start moving actions on this.

All- could I request others who have not yet contributed to this discussion, to also bring your ideas forward. Is everyone supportive of this ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS Awards initiative?

Hi Suchith,
Just thinking that we may also allow people in other regions of the world to respond before fixing a committee? Specifically to make sure we get buy in from labs around the world?
Ciao,
Jeroen

Hi Jeroen,

This is excellent and thank you and GeoCat for this. We will now setup a committee for ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS labs student travel awards to help with this.

All - this is a call for participants (we need 5 of you including a chair) to be part of this Award committee and setup procedures for student applications and evaluvation.

Hi Jeff,
Good you bring this up! I've been thinking about such thing for a long time and discussed it within a small group of friends back than. GeoCat would be willing to sponsor such type of thing. I would like to see that have the form of a competition where it would be great if ICA OSGeo labs would assist with the process of student applications and evaluation to come to a winner, second and third prize. First prize could indeed be a trip to the FOSS4G conference to receive the prize and present the winning work. If this is of interest I'm available to discuss details.
Greetings,
Jeroen

Hi everyone,

I saw a news item[1] that made me wonder if we (Geo for All) could create scholarships for students; is it a far stretched dream to imagine one scholarship (a one-time payment, plus a plaque) to a single graduate student at each of our ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS labs around the world each year?  The award would be given to a student who promotes Open Geospatial in their education and research, and would be done in the name of the supporting organizations (ICA, ISPRS, OSGeo).

What do you think?  Or has this topic been discussed already?

Could this in fact be made into a 'requirement' for becoming an ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS lab?
