OGC is excited to offer our members a pool of funding to participate in the second phase of the 2024 Climate and Disaster Resilience Pilot. Apply now. Applications close September 18. A Q&A webinar is scheduled for September 12.
Not an OGC Member? Join here to qualify for this and other upcoming opportunities.
The Pilot offers different ways for interested organizations to participate: there are the defined work items and deliverables, but organizations may also give time to help in the co-design process, or provide funding, in-kind contributions, paid services, or resources such as data sets or access to infrastructure, and more. Learn more in the Call For Participation document.
The Sponsors of Phase 2 of the 2024 Climate and Disaster Resilience Pilot include the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and other OGC Strategic Members, along with OGC Members the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) and Intact Financial Corporation. The grants provided by the Sponsors are designed to help defray some of the costs for organizations, particularly SMEs, that would like to participate extensively in this work.
The Pilot provides an outstanding opportunity to connect with stakeholders from across the Climate, Disaster, and Emergency Management ecosystem, including the Sponsor organizations. Participants will engage with the latest research on geospatial system design, concept development, and rapid prototyping and work with the Sponsoring & Participating organizations to mutually define, refine, and evolve future service interfaces and protocols in the context of hands-on experience and feedback.
OGC welcomes proposals to participate in its Initiatives from any organization or individual. You do not need to be a member of OGC to propose to participate. However, if your organization’s proposal is selected, you or your organization must become an OGC member if not already one. This is to ensure all participants have equal access to the tools and documentation developed and shared throughout the project phase.
The Pilot has three general objectives:
- The first objective looks at existing services, data, information models, and platforms from the perspective of the generative AI developer.
- The second objective examines the specific capabilities that can currently be realized through AI tools.
- The third objective focuses on the various platforms’ existing services and data offerings as well as information models. The project examines how these can be optimally developed based on the FAIR principles.
More information on Phase 2 of the Climate and Disaster Resilience Pilot 2024, including ways to participate, the technical objectives, how to apply for funding, and more, is included in the Call For Participation document on the Climate and Disaster Resilience Pilot 2024 webpage. Applications for participation close September 18, 2024. There is a bidders’ Q&A webinar scheduled for September 12 @ 9:00 AM US Eastern.
