[GeoForAll-UrbanScience] Diversity building in our collaborative 'urban science/city analytics' efforts

[Suchith Anand]

I also think the Doctoral consortia topic should be broader to include Urban Health , City management etc.

Maybe the Doctoral Consortia 's title should be "Open Geospatial Science for Urban Studies" to make it broader .

Charlie will be able to give ideas on this as he is the proposal lead

Hi Charlie,

sorry for the delay in answering and sorry if my answer is not apropriate. Probably I missunderstood the message, but I find strange the folowwing item:
Annual Open Geospatial Science for Urban Vulnerability Doctoral Consortia

The other items are generic activities, but this is a very focused item. Is there any reason for staring this topic? If not, we can wide the topic and talk about Open Geospatial Science for Urban Health, and also talk about other topics, like city management, utilities, etc.

As I said, probably I missundersood you. If it is the case, please, forget the message.

Thank you, very much.

Best regards,

I like all the ideas.  I am not sure when this would be a appropriate, but a webinar series might be helpful as the project completes sub parts

Thanks
Tom

Hi GeoForAll Urban Science folks

I'm working on 'activities' section for our 'Open Geospatial Science for Urban Vulnerability' NSF RCN proposal. The vast majority of this proposal will be asking for funding to send people in our network to either FOSS4G NA or the FOSS4G global to participate in several activities that will be co-located there:

1) Annual ?Train the Trainer´ workshops on open access educational material (FOSS4G NA and FOSS4G global);
2) Annual Open Geospatial Science for Urban Vulnerability Doctoral Consortia at FOSS4G global;
3) Coordinated regular ?Academic Track´ paper submissions to these conferences on Open Geospatial Science for Urban Vulnerability;
4) Annual 1-day ?collaborative paper or grant sprints´ co-located at the FOSS4G NA and global conferences;
and,
5) Hold regular bi-monthly RCN steering committee meetings, and subgroup meetings via an online conferencing system

If anyone has any reactions to any of the above or other ideas I should consider, let me know.

But here's my question:

NSF ENCOURAGES EFFORTS TO HELP BUILD A DIVERSE COLLABORATIVE NETWORK. Are there things we can specifically do to encourage more women in this effort or a more diverse participant pool in general? One idea I have is to build a larger participant pool from the African Continent somehow. Thoughts, reactions? I could use some ideas on how to build diversity.

Thanks,
Charlie
