ESIP News and Events

Call for Sessions Open for July 2022 ESIP Meeting

We are excited to share that the session proposal portal is open for the July 2022 ESIP July Meeting to be held in Pittsburgh, PA. Submit session proposals by Friday, April 29. 

Our top priority for this meeting is to provide an engaging and exciting experience in person where the ESIP community can gather and reconnect together in Pittsburgh. Standing up a robust, in-person gathering at the same time as an effective, interactive virtual meeting is beyond our current resources. Our focus will be first on the in-person meeting and we will look to pilot some hybrid access in select sessions.

More details will be shared as they become available and reach out to staff@esipfed.org with questions.

New Guest Blog and USGS Feature Story

The Biological Data Standards Cluster co-wrote a guest blog for ESIP and cluster chair Abby Benson's work was highlighted in a USGS Feature Story. Read “A Primer for Data Managers” on ESIP's new blog Merge at esipfed.org/merge, where we will be gathering and sharing more community stories and ESIP news. 
 

Call for Raskin Scholarship Applications

The Raskin Scholarship seeks to promote collaboration, research support, and exposure for talented students in the Earth or computer sciences. The scholarship includes a $5,000 award and support to attend the July 2022 ESIP Meeting (July 18-22, 2022). Applications are due Friday, March 25.
 

New Open Source Science Transformation Cluster Kickoff (3/31)

Are you interested in helping drive the transformation to open-source science (OSS)? The newly initiated Open-Source Science Transformation cluster aims to develop and build a broad community around OSS, yielding a Champions of OSS community that is inclusive and equitable. We envisage creating a robust community, equipped with best practices and toolkits that are readily translatable, transferable, and shared broadly amongst ESIP stakeholders interested in embracing OSS. In preparation for the Year of Open Science (2023), the creation of this cluster is incredibly timely given the urgent need to amplify OSS that is accessible, inclusive, equitable, and reproducible, and guided by a vast array of stakeholder groups. Join the first telecon on Thursday March 31 at noon EST.
 

IT&I Webinar — Available on YouTube

If you missed last week's Information Technology and Interoperability (IT&I) Tech Dive Webinar, then catch the YouTube video with the National Park Service's web mapping tools on the ESIP channel. 

Next month's IT&I Tech Dive Webinar focuses on GeoCollaborate – Geospatial Data Collaboration Platform.

The IT&I webinar series brings together ESIP and the USGS CDI Tech Stack Working Group for in-depth discussions of Earth science data tools.
