VI Workshop on Data Science

Discuss the approaches of open science and synthesis techniques


The mission of this event is to disseminate to the Brazilian scientific/academic community experiences and outcomes in synthesis science and data science of the BELMONT project “Building new tools for data sharing and reuse through a transnational investigation of the socio-economic impacts of protected areas” (PARSEC) - a Belmont Forum collaborative research action related to e-infrastructures innovation. This project aims to conduct interdisciplinary, transnational synthesis science while testing novel approaches to the management and preservation of environmental and socio-economic data.

The organisers are grateful for funding from IUGS and UNESCO to support the attendance of early career scientists.

  • Parsec Project:
    Building New Tools for Data Sharing and Reuse through a Transnational Investigation of the Socioeconomic Impacts of Protected Areas

    Objectives:

  • Predict the socioeconomic outcomes of natural protected areas (PAs) on rural communities using a novel combination of satellite imagery and artificial intelligence;
  • Determine the influence of PAs on consumption expenditure and asset health of rural communities;
  • Improve future environmental decision-making;
  • Improve digitial connections between researchers, their funding, publications and data;
  • Improve recommendations for the research data workflow and skills for research teams;
  • Increase the number of citations to data sets and better attribute them to the data creator;
  • Promote credit for open and FAIR data management and preservation for data reuse;
  • Provide tools for researchers to view how the data they have deposited is used and cited.
