Deadline: March 31, 2016
SSHRC
has partnered with Compute Canada, Ontario Centres of Excellence and
ThinkData Works to launch the first “Human Dimensions Open Data
Challenge” in January 2016.
Organized as part of SSHRC’s Imagining Canada’s Future initiative, this challenge seeks to address the following question:
What
data, technology or process initiatives will mitigate or address
critical business, policy, and social challenges in Canada’s natural
resources and energy sectors through 2035?
Through
this challenge, researchers in social sciences and humanities will lead
multidisciplinary teams to respond to this question, and to find
solutions to the
related Future Challenge Area that focuses on energy and natural resources. The teams will address one or more of the following themes under this challenge area:
•Community engagement
•HR, skills and competencies and mobility gaps
•Sustainability
