<br>
Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
Following the successful initiation of the *Academic Track* at State of the<br>
Map 2018 in Milan [1], this Track will be included again in the program of<br>
State of the Map 2019, to be held in Heidelberg on September 21-23, 2019.<br>
The main purpose of the Academic Track is to bring together and foster<br>
interactions between the OpenStreetMap community at large (contributors,<br>
developers, users, etc.) and the academic/scientific community of<br>
researchers from all over the world.<br>
<br>
A designated Leading Team would be in charge on the organization of the<br>
Academic Track, co-chaired by Marco Minghini (on behalf of the OSMF State<br>
of the Map Working Group) and Yair Grinberger (on behalf of the Heidelberg<br>
local team). We hereby issue a call for applications, inviting all<br>
interested individuals to apply to join the Leading Team. This team will be<br>
in charge of:<br>
<br>
- writing and publishing the call for abstracts/papers for State of the<br>
Map 2019<br>
- designing and managing the review process of the submitted abstracts,<br>
deciding which ones to accept for oral presentation or poster presentation<br>
- defining the Academic Track schedule at State of the Map 2019, by<br>
working in close contact with the Programme Selection Committee<br>
- planning and managing possible publication outputs, e.g. conference<br>
proceedings or a Special Issue in a scientific journal<br>
<br>
In agreement with the OSMF State of the Map Working Group and the local<br>
team, it was decided that the Academic Track Leading Team will be composed<br>
by Marco and Yair plus 3 additional people that would be selected through<br>
this open call.<br>
<br>
Thus, we invite applications for *researchers or academics* to be part of<br>
the Academic Track Leading Team. The call is open to everyone<br>
interested. *Applications<br>
shall be made exclusively by sending an e-mail to this mailing list<br>
(<a href="mailto:science@openstreetmap.org" target="_blank">science@openstreetmap.org</a> <<a href="mailto:science@openstreetmap.org" target="_blank">science@openstreetmap.org</a>>)*, and filling the<br>
following template:<br>
<br>
*Name and Surname*<br>
*Please enter your name and surname.*<br>
<br>
*Affiliation*<br>
*Please enter your (current) full affiliation.*<br>
<br>
*Academic experience, in particular on OpenStreetMap*<br>
*Please enter a short description of your main academic interests and<br>
contributions, especially related to OpenStreetMap. A full list of<br>
OpenStreetMap-related publications (or a link to it) is appreciated.*<br>
<br>
*Editorial experience*<br>
*Please enter a short description of your editorial experience, e.g. as a<br>
Member of the Editorial Board of scientific journals, Guest-Editors of<br>
Special Issues, reviewer for scientific journals. Place the focus on<br>
OpenStreetMap, when relevant.*<br>
<br>
*Participation in State of the Map 2019*<br>
*Despite it is not required that you are attending State of the Map 2019,<br>
please inform us whether you plan to attend (if selected as a member of the<br>
Academic Track Leading Team).*<br>
<br>
Only applications submitted according to this procedure and only<br>
self-nominations will be considered.<br>
<br>
The deadline for applications is *January 3, 2019*.<br>
<br>
Applications will be assessed by the OSMF State of the Map Working Group<br>
and the Heidelberg local team. The three available seats of the Academic<br>
Track Leading Team will be assigned based on the candidate’s personal merit<br>
and according to the overall goal of forming a diverse and<br>
interdisciplinary Team. In absence of candidates who are meeting the<br>
expectations, the OSMF State of the Map Working Group and the Heidelberg<br>
local team reserve the right to select less than three people, or nominate<br>
additional persons by invitation.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
Yair and Marco - on behalf of the OSMF State of the Map Working Group and<br>
the State of the Map 2019 Heidelberg local team<br>
