CHIST-ERA has just announced the results of its Open & Re-usable Research Data & Software (ORD) call. Out of the nine winning projects, five include Polish researchers. Polish teams from Warsaw, Krakow and Wrocław will get a total of 3.5 million zlotys for projects related to open science.
Two projects from the list are headed by Polish researchers. Dr Robert Sot from the University of Warsaw will coordinate a project on FAIR standards (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) in long-term bird population studies, while Dr hab. inż. Tomasz Kajdanowicz from the Wrocław University of Technology will head a project on judicial data gathering and coding. The other three projects involving Polish partners will focus on open data in the context of physical sciences, social sciences and information sciences.
The following projects include Polish research teams:
- FAIRBiRDS: FAIR Bird Research Data and Software (FAIRBiRDS): closing the research lifecycle in the long tail of science – the project will be coordinated by Dr Robert Sot (international consortium leader) from the University of Warsaw and conducted by an international consortium including partners from Belgium, Brazil, France and the Netherlands.
- JuDDGES: Judicial Decision Data Gathering, Encoding and Sharing – the project will be coordinated by Dr hab. inż. Tomasz Kajdanowicz (international consortium leader) from the Wrocław University of Technology and conducted by an international consortium including partners from France and Great Britain.
- OpenMAPP: Open meta-analysis in particle physics – the project will include Dr hab. Andrzej Siódmok from the Jagiellonian University in an international consortium with partners from France (international consortium leader), South Korea, Turkey and Great Britain.
- OPENMIN: Consolidating Open Science and Data Initiatives on Ethnic and Migrant Minorities in Europe – the project will include Dr hab. Justyna Salamońska from the Koźmiński University in an international consortium with partners from France (international consortium leader), Austria, Belgium, Switzerland and Romania.
- SoFAIR: Making Software FAIR: A machine-assisted workflow for the research software lifecycle – the project will include Dr Tomasz Umerle from the Institute of Literary Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences in an international consortium with partners from Great Britain (international consortium leader), France and the Czech Republic.
Full list of projects recommended for funding under CHIST-ERA ORD
The CHIST-ERA ORD call was open to international consortia made up of at least three research teams from at least three different participating countries. The PI of the Polish team had to have at least a PhD degree.
The purpose of CHISTERA is to support research on information and communication technologies. To date, the NETWORK has launched 13 international calls for proposals, with the next one being scheduled to start in October.
