Special interest groups (SIG’s) are intended to foster, enhance, and promote discussion within a particular field of data discovery with the Sydney Precision Data Centre research program. The format and methods for achieving this are at the discretion of the group, provided they meet the following requirements:
- nominate a research member of the SPDS to lead the group (they may nominate a co-lead).
- form a leadership team around SIG of at least 3 people;
- focus on a specialist area of interest relevant to the SPDS, that is not addressed/served another SIG or project node.
- hold at least one event or meeting per year and publicise their activities through the SPDS Centre website and newsletter.
- contribute to the centre annual report detailing achievements.
To form a SIG, members of the SPDS Centre are invited to submit an expression of interest (doc, 80.1KB) to data-science.admin@sydney.edu.au. After any required edits are addressed, expressions of interest will be forwarded to the Executive Committee for consideration.
