Why attend SciDataCon 2023?

International Data Week brings together a global community of data
scientists and data stewards; researchers from all domains; data,
interoperability and informatics experts from all fields; industry leaders,
entrepreneurs and policymakers.

IDW 2023 will combine the SciDataCon 2023, the scientific conference
addressing the frontiers of data in research organised by CODATA and WDS
and the biennial RDA Plenary Meeting.

This event will be an inclusive and celebratory Festival of Data, with
in-person and virtual components, highlighting the opportunities for the
positive transformation of our world in the light of the COVID-19 pandemic
and other global challenges.

Learn more about the themes, topics, and submission process for SciDataCon
2023 in the webinar recording or presentation on Why attend SciDataCon 2023

SciDataCon 2023: High-level Themes

The overarching theme of International Data Week and SciDataCon 2023 is *A
Festival of Data.*

There are seven themes for SciDataCon 2023:

   1. Advancing data through cutting-edge technology
   2. Honouring all actors working with data
   3. Advocating for Data Ethics
   4. Championing Data beyond FAIR
   5. Building resilient data in times of crises
   6. Celebrating data pedagogy
   7. Engaging with SciDataCon Persistent Themes

See an outline of suggested topics under each of the SciDataCon themes:
https://www.scidatacon.org/conference/IDW-2023-Salzburg/Themes/
SciDataCon Sessions

Sessions at SciDataCon explore research and practice. Sessions may include
presentations of original research, of interesting data practices, or a mix
of the two. Sessions may be structured around conventional presentations
and discussion, or they may take more interactive formats, including panels
and interactive workshops. All session proposals will be peer-reviewed.
They should be compelling and of interest to the global data community. The
format, structure, and outcomes should be clearly expressed.

*Please note that organisers of the International Data Week strongly
encourage onsite participation in the conference. About half of the
SciDataCon sessions can though be held in hybrid format (onsite and
online). **If you believe that the session you propose would strongly
benefit from being organised as a hybrid one, please clearly state so and
explain why in your session proposal.* This information, in addition to the
peer review feedback, will be in particular important for the Programme
Committee when forming the SciDataCon 2023 programme. In case you already
submitted a session and did not indicate a preference for hybrid format of
your session or the situation has changed, please contact us at
scidatacon at codata.org before close of the call for sessions on 15 May.

*Submit proposal at **https://www.scidatacon.org/IDW-2023-Salzburg/submit/*
<https://www.scidatacon.org/IDW-2023-Salzburg/submit/>

Your proposal should:

   - Explain the significance of the issues to be tackled in the session.
   - Provide a clear description of the approach, structure, format, and
   suggested agenda for the session.
   - Provide as much information as possible about proposed speakers and
   the subject of their papers.
   - Be no shorter than 300 words and no longer than 900 words.

Suggested session types

   - Research Presentations
   - Practice Presentations
   - Mix of Research and Practice Presentations
   - Panel Discussion
   - Ignition/Lightning Talks and Structured Discussion
   - Group Discussions (World Café)
   - Workshop Session (state format)
   - None of the above (you may suggest an alternative format, but you
   should describe it clearly)

About SciDataCon Sessions

   - Please take into account the following considerations when preparing
   your proposal for a SciDataCon 2023 session.
   - Sessions will be 90 minutes in duration.
   - Session proposals should explicitly address one or more of the
   conference themes outlined above.
   - Session proposals should clearly describe the format and ‘type’ of the
   session: see above for information about the different formats of sessions
   that are invited.
   - The proposed session structure should allow sufficient time for
   interaction and discussion with participants and audience while staying
   within the time assigned for each session.

Presentations (individual papers) and posters at SciDataCon 2023

*We encourage you to submit your presentation or poster abstract via this
link: **https://www.scidatacon.org/IDW-2023-Salzburg/submit/*
<https://www.scidatacon.org/IDW-2023-Salzburg/submit/>

*Presentation abstracts must be submitted to the ‘Conference Abstracts’
category.* Click [Submit abstract]. In the submission form, you should
select the [Presentation Submissions] ‘session’.

Abstracts will be peer reviewed for individual quality and, if accepted,
will be assigned to an accepted session or grouped into thematic sessions
by the SciDataCon Programme Committee.  Accepted abstracts will be
available from the conference website and will form a persistent
collection, so please consider the following recommendations carefully:

   - Please submit your proposal of a length appropriate to the
   intervention. For example, we recommend that the proposal for a research
   paper should be 600-900 words and for a practice paper 300-600 words.
   These are guides and please use your judgement.  We strongly discourage
   proposals of more than 900 words or less than 300 words.
   - The proposal should clearly specify the core idea, the context of the
   research or practice, and the audience to whom it is relevant.
   Insufficiently developed proposals will not be selected.

*Poster abstracts must be submitted to the Conference Posters category. * Click
[Submit poster abstract].  In the submission form, you should select the
[Poster Submissions] ‘session’.

Posters will appear in dedicated virtual and in-person poster sessions.
Posters can often be a more effective way of communicating key technical
features of a paper and providing a visual summary that really engages the
viewer.  For a Poster Abstract we suggest 300-600 words and certainly no
more than 900 words in length.

Thanks,
Asha
