DDE World Cup 2023 – Official launch of Deep-time Digital Earth's global challenge prize-competition for Young Earth Scientists.
Deep-time Digital Earth (DDE) is the first Big Science initiative of the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) dedicated to facilitating innovation in understanding Earth’s evolution – life, climate, materials, geography – by using Big Data analytics, internet cloud computing, data mining, machine learning and AI.
DDE World Cup 2023 will be launched as a global competition for young and early career geoscientists in earth, geodata, and geoinformatics science to promote data-driven, geoscientific research in the DDE Platform environment. The competition is organised by the DDE Young Earth Scientists and Geo-education Task Groups together with the Global Young Earth Scientist (YES) Network.
The competition will be open to all young and early career geoscientists as a two-round selection of the global winners. The competition rules and judgment criteria will be announced at a Town Hall meeting on 27 April 2023 at EGU2023, where the DDE World Cup 2023 competition will be officially initiated.
Finalists comprising winners from the first-round and the global winner and runners-up will be invited to a DDE sponsored global event to receive their awards
