"The Group on Earth Observations (GEO) has invited GEO Work Programme activities, GEO Members, Participating Organizations and Associates to share information about projects using Earth observations to support monitoring, response or recovery actions related to the COVID‑19 pandemic.

GEO has published a list of Earth observations projects responding to COVID‑19. Explore the list of projects here.

This list is not meant to be exhaustive, and it does not imply endorsement from GEO. However, it is intended as a repository to share information and data from the wider GEO community and will be continuously updated.

To request to add your project to this list, please email the GEO Secretariat secretariat@geosec.org."

Négy globális adat-szervezet (CODATA, GO FAIR, RDA és WDS) összefogása a COVID-19 járvány lekűzdése érdekében

Az MFTTT WG4SDG figyelmébe: az ICSU CODATA szervezettől ma érkezett üzenet és felhívás:

"CODATA together with GO FAIR, RDA, and WDS (the four major international data organisations), are pleased to outline their joint commitment to work together to optimise the global research data ecosystem and to identify the opportunities and needs that will trigger federated infrastructures to service the new reality of data-driven science.

A first concrete example of this is the following ‘Data Together COVID-19 Appeal and Actions’ 

The COVID-19 pandemic presents a major test for our science system and for our research and data infrastructures.  These infrastructures, such as open science clouds and data commons, must serve the needs of science, policy, and humanity not only in ‘normal times’, but also in times of crisis by providing controlled access to quality data in real-time and at scale for a range of scientific- and policy-related responses.

The Data Together organisations are jointly working on the following activities and invite all to contribute:

1. Data Together–GO FAIR Virus Outbreak Data Network (VODAN)
2. The Data Together–RDA COVID-19 Working Group 
3. CODATA ‘Making Data Work for Cross-Domain Grand Challenges’ for launch in 2021

Thanks,

Asha

Az ENSZ főtitkár levele a G-20 csoport tagjainak rendkívüli, virtuális találkozójuk előtt.

"Letter from the Secretary-General to G-20 Members

23 March 2020
Excellency,
I welcome the decision by the leaders of the Group of Twenty (G-20) to
convene an emergency virtual summit to respond to the catastrophic challenges
posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. As the global health crisis spreads human
suffering and upends the global economy, the world looks forward to concerted
and decisive action by world leaders.
This is above all a human crisis, with multifaceted threats. Even in the
wealthiest countries, we see health systems buckling under pressure. Around the
world, the socioeconomic impacts of the pandemic are already tangible — schools
are closing, already pervasive inequalities are deepening, many countries are
unable to respond to the enormous needs of the elderly; and women, who
represent 70 per cent of health-care workers, are disproportionately affected.
A recession is in prospect. The question is: how long it will last and how much
Damage will it do to the productive capacities of our economies and the
livelihoods of our citizens.
COVID-19 will require a response like none before — a “war-time” plan
in times of human crisis. The G-20 leadership has an extraordinary opportunity
to step forward with a strong response package to address the various threats of
COVID-19. This would demonstrate solidarity with the world’s people,
especially the most vulnerable.
Allow me to share with you 3 critical areas for discussion and
decision-making at the upcoming G-20 meeting:

A "'Research Data Alliance' COVID-19 munkacsoport felhívása térinformatikusaink számára is érdekes lehet

Közegészségügyben, járványügyben alkalmazási tapasztalattal rendelkező, kutatás-fejlesztő térinformatikusaink figyelmébe!

"RDA COVID-19 Working Group - Urgent Call for Expert Contributions

As an international, consensus-driven, community based organisation, the Research Data Alliance (RDA) has been asked to leverage on the global RDA data community to support the urgent Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic.

As a response, RDA has set up a fast track Working Group titled the “RDA COVID-19 Working Group”.

The objective of this Working Group is to clearly define detailed guidelines on data sharing and re-use under the present COVID-19 circumstances to help researchers follow best practices to maximize the efficiency of their work. The guidelines will focus on the management of data originating from different data sources and the development of a system for data sharing in public health emergencies that supports scientific research. This group will provide recommendations on the creation of a common framework and the tools and processes which should be embedded in research practice. Guidelines will adhere to FAIR and other principles and specificities related to omics data, clinical research data and epidemiological data.

The RDA COVID-19 Working Group, which operates according to the RDA guiding principles of Openness, Consensus, Balance, Harmonization, Community-driven, Non-profit and technology-neutral, is OPEN TO ALL. To join, log into the RDA website (or register for free if you are not a member) and then join the group at https://www.rd-alliance.org/groups/rda-covid19. If you know of a colleague who you believe could contribute to this group’s objectives, please forward this message to him/her.

For those who join this group, online collaborative working documents, bi-weekly meetings and frequent updates will be communicated via the group web page and mailing list over the coming days.

This group will work at an unprecedented speed, to deliver a first set of recommendations in 4 weeks, by 15 April 2020, and is co-chaired by:

• Juan Bicarregui, Head of Data Division, UKRI-STFC & EOSC Executive Board
• Anne Cambon Thomsen, Emeritus Research Director CNRS & RDA Ambassador for Health Sciences & Research Ethics
• Sarah Jones, Associate Director, Digital Curation Centre (DCC) & EOSC Executive Board
• Mark Leggott, Executive Director, Research Data Canada & RDA Council Co-Chair
• Priyanka Pillai, Health Informatics Specialist, University of Melbourne

If you would like further information, please contact Hilary Hanahoe, RDA Secretary General at hilary.hanahoe@rda-foundation.org, or Bridget Walker, RDA Office Manager at bridget.walker@rda-foundation.org."
