[OSGeo-Discuss] Inviting ideas for expanding joint research between UK and Canada Universities in Global Food Security

[Suchith Anand]

Dear colleague,


On 24th September 2019, The Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition 
(GODAN) headquarters has moved from the Centre for Agriculture and Bioscience 
International in Oxfordshire, UK [1] to McGill University in Montreal, Canada . 
Details at

https://www.godan.info/news/godan-moves-headquarters-montreal-canada


I am keen that we keep strong research links with key UK universities for 
future research. As a first step, I would like to look into UK-Canada Globalink 
Doctoral Exchange Scheme to explore if we can use this opportunity to build 
joint research and publications with key UK universities.


UK-Canada Globalink Doctoral Exchange Scheme  is a new and exciting opportunity 
for UKRI and Canadian doctoral students to participate in a UK-Canada research 
exchange scheme. Supported by UKRI and Mitacs, up to 200 UK doctoral candidates 
will have the opportunity to develop into global citizens, with international 
competencies, during 12-week research placements in Canadian universities; a 
similar number of Canadian students will visit UK universities. UKRI has 
partnered with Mitacs, a national, not-for-profit organization that has 
designed and delivered research and training programs in Canada for 20 years, 
to deliver the £2.5 million programme.More details at 
https://www.ukri.org/research/international/international-funding-opportunities/uk-canada-globalink-doctoral-exchange-scheme/



For identifying the top three research centres in UK doing research in Global 
Food Security, that GODAN can work together for future joint publications and 
research as well as apply for joint bids, I would like to invite colleagues in 
UK universities who are leading research centres to send EoIs to me [Email - 
suchith.an...@godan.info ] by 30th Sep 2019 
with details of their expertise in Global Food Security topics. We are 
interested in all research topics covering Global Food Security (from 
Satellites to genomes). I am specifically interested to work  in joint research 
and publications in AgriGIS, open geospatial science topics [2] and welcome 
ideas.


Looking forward to hear from you and work with you in joint research and 
publications.


Best wishes,


Suchith

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] What terms should go into an OSGeo Glossary?

[Cameron Shorter]

To keep you in the loop,

Both the OGC and ISO/TC211 Glossary teams, who manage glossaries of 
spatial terms have reached out to us about collaborating around 
developing an OSGeo glossary. It looks like they have tools which we 
could make use of.


The conversation is unfolding on the OSGeo Standards list. If you are 
interested, I suggest viewing the email archive and/or subscribing to 
the list: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/standards
