SUMMARY:U.N. Datathon with the ADSN
DESCRIPTION:What do you get when you throw a group of people together who don’t know each other\, who come from different backgrounds and disciplines\, and give them a tight deadline to solve a difficult and challenging problem? \nThe answer: The U.N. Datathon\, hosted by the Australian Data Science Network (ADSN). \nThe ADSN hosted seven U.N. Datathon teams over four days (3-6 November) at the QUT Centre for Data Science in Brisbane. An eighth ADSN team competed together at the Melbourne Centre for Data Science. \nRather than having teams of people who already know each other enter the competition\, the ADSN asked people to submit individual expressions of interest to take part in the event. The ADSN then took all those EOIs and put together teams of people from different universities and organisations\, and with varying level of experience. \nOne of the main aims of the ADSN is to get different centres and universities talking and working together. On a different scale\, that was the goal for the ADSN in creating these teams of people who didn’t know each other – and it appeared to work brilliantly!  After just four days\, they left with new friends and new connections\, knowing they had come together in a short amount of time to attack a challenging problem. Each of the teams tackled a different U.N. Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). \nThe ADSN would especially like to acknowledge the QUT Centre for Data Science and its Director\, Distinguished Professor Kerrie Mengersen\, for hosting and for financial support of this event. CDS provided travel grants to many of the participants and provided several meals\, along with snacks for the whole weekend. \nThe ADSN hopes to continue doing U.N. Datathon events in the years to come with even more teams! \nHighlights of the ADSN Event at the QUT Centre for Data Science in Brisbane \n\nFriday evening Opening Ceremony and Networking Event at QUT\nThree days of intense problem solving.

SUMMARY:Data Science and Wildfire Hackathon
DESCRIPTION:Join the Melbourne Centre for Data Science for this first of\, hopefully\, many\, hack events focused on interdisciplinary peer-to-peer learning and discovery among individuals at various stages of their career. \nThe topic: data science and wildfire\nThe urgency of wildfire study in Australia is increasing. We have all seen the reports promising us an intense summer to come and\, in some areas of our country\, the fires have already begun. \nWildfire affects the environment and vice versa. Wildfire affects the economy and vice versa. Wildfire affects community\, disaster and resilience planning\, and welfare. Wildfire affects us all. In more ways that just indicated here. \nThere are volumes of data available to us now. We won’t be starting from scratch but we need new approaches\, new connections\, new tools. We need all hands on deck – we need you! \nPlease join us – Melbourne Centre for Data Science and Flare Wildfire Research – for this dive into the data. \nAre you a Grad student (Masters\, PhD) or an Early Career Researcher (postdocs\, RA\, etc)? Are you a professor? Do you work in fire management? Is your area of research in data analysis\, spatial\, combustion engineering\, landscape ecology\, forest science\, computer programming\, invasive species or similar fields? Do you want to contribute\, collaborate\, and learn? \nPlease put forward your interest now.\nWe’ll be creating teams of mixed expertise – these could look like an experienced landscape ecologist\, a spatial champion\, a robust coder\, and a fire specialist.\nWe’ll be exploring questions like: characterising diversity – spatial vs temporal\, patterns in wildfire\, redefining fire regime – what is the new normal?\, land use maps …and more. \nWhat takeaways are there to be had from this different style hack? New skills and knowledge transfer\, new perspectives and community-building\, the kick-start to new collaborations\, new code written and understanding of advances in adjacent disciplines\, among other things. \nJump in\, join us. We’re holding this in person from 8 -10 November in The Studio at Melbourne Connect.

SUMMARY:Research Bazaar (ResBaz) Queensland
DESCRIPTION:ResBaz is a worldwide festival promoting the digital literacy at the centre of modern research. Throughout 2023\, events will be held at a number of university campuses around the world. \nResearch Bazaar Queensland (#ResBazQld) will be a three-day intensive conference where researchers will come together to upskill in ‘next-generation digital research tools and skills’. In the spirit of a marketplace or bazaar\, ResBaz is a highly participatory event where researchers from many different disciplines can learn\, share knowledge and skills\, and have fun! \nWho should attend? Researchers at ALL levels from ALL disciplines. PhD candidates\, research Masters students and early-career researchers are especially encouraged to attend. Research technologists and research software developers who support researchers to do their job should also come along! ResBazQld fees are kept low-cost to be affordable for most researchers. \nSessions at this year’s ResBaz will offer a brief practical introduction to a broad selection of topics and tools related to digital research practice relevant across the disciplines. \nQCIF (ADSN partner organisation) is one of the main organisers of ResBazQld 2023. \nThe website for this year’s ResBazQld is still in development\, but save the date in the meantime. QCIF will announce when registrations open — keep an eye on this page in the coming months.
