Subject: [OSM-Science] Academic Track at State of the Map 2020 - Call for applications for the Scientific Committee

Dear colleagues,

Following the first two successful editions of the Academic Track at State of the Map 2018 in Milan [1] and State of the Map 2019 in Heidelberg [2], this Track will be included again in the program of State of the Map 2020, to be held in Cape Town on July 3-5, 2020. The main purpose of the Academic Track is to bring together and foster interactions between the OpenStreetMap community at large (contributors, developers, users, etc.) and the academic/scientific community of researchers from all over the world.
A designated Scientific Committee will be responsible for the organization of the Academic Track, co-chaired by Marco Minghini (on behalf of the OSMF State of the Map Working Group) and Serena Coetzee (on behalf of the South Africa local team). We hereby issue a call for applications, inviting all interested individuals to apply to join the Scientific Committee. This team will be in charge of:

  *   writing and publishing the call for abstracts/papers for the Academic Track at State of the Map 2020
  *   designing and managing the review process of the submitted abstracts, deciding which ones to accept for oral presentation or poster presentation
  *   defining the Academic Track schedule at State of the Map 2020, by working in close contact with the Programme Committee<https://2020.stateofthemap.org/cfp/#committee>
  *   planning and managing possible publication outputs, e.g. conference proceedings and/or or a Special Issue in a scientific journal
The Academic Track Scientific Committee will be composed by Marco and Serena plus additional people that would be selected through this open call. The number of additional people is not defined a priori and will depend on the number and quality of applications received.

Thus, we invite applications for researchers or academics to be part of the Academic Track Scientific Committee. The call is open to everyone interested. Applications shall be made exclusively by sending an e-mail to this mailing list (science at openstreetmap.org<mailto:science at openstreetmap.org>), and filling the following template:

Name and Surname
Please enter your name and surname.

Affiliation
Please enter your (current) full affiliation.

Academic experience, in particular on OpenStreetMap
Please enter a short description of your main academic interests and contributions, especially related to OpenStreetMap. A full list of OpenStreetMap-related publications (or a link to it) is appreciated. Also, please list your previous experience as a member of scientific or academic committees. Place the focus on OpenStreetMap, when relevant.

Editorial experience
Please enter a short description of your editorial experience, e.g. as a Member of the Editorial Board of scientific journals, Guest-Editors of Special Issues, reviewer for scientific journals. Place the focus on OpenStreetMap, when relevant.

Participation in State of the Map 2020
Although it is not strictly required that all members of the Academic Track Scientific Committee participate in the State of the Map 2020 conference, a sufficient presence is required. Therefore, please inform us whether you plan to attend (if selected as a member of the Academic Track Scientific Committee).

Only applications submitted according to this procedure and only self-nominations will be considered.

The deadline for applications is January 8, 2020.

Applications will be assessed by the OSMF State of the Map Working Group and the Cape Town local team. The Academic Track Scientific Committee will be formed based on the candidates' personal merit and their chance to participate in State of the Map 2020 (assessed from the answers to the questions above) and according to the overall goal of forming a diverse and interdisciplinary Team. In absence of candidates who are meeting the expectations, the OSMF State of the Map Working Group and the Cape Town local team reserve the right to nominate additional persons by invitation.

Best regards,
Serena and Marco - on behalf of the OSMF State of the Map Working Group and the State of the Map 2020 local team
