Open Dialogue: Towards Organizing Study Abroad Europe-WideCIEE
Many European countries are creating study abroad associations that represent and support their members, serve as a platform for shared information and staff training, and support those who impact the study abroad experience. Today, several of these country-specific organizations are working together to organize study abroad across the region. During this session, we’ll explore the benefits of a comprehensive organization of national associations, including how it can assist with promoting, facilitating, and reinventing study abroad in Europe.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

simpler and seamless access to data
resources
• This includes the data currently hosted
by ESDS International

41. The aims of this project are to share teaching resources and
expertise in those institutions already working to upskill
students in QM; and to focus on resources that address
global issues by using real world data
The resulting open educational resources (OER) will be
accompanied by ‘stories’ or narratives of exemplar usage,
engaging social science learners with QM. The focus will be
away from economics and psychology
42. Progress to date
• Interviewed:
– Staff from 6 universities
• Leeds Metropolitan, Plymouth, London School of Economics and Political Science, Cardiff,
Manchester Metropolitan, University of Manchester
– Policy related – Save the Children
– RSS Statistical Education Centre
• Attended:
– BBC Data Journalist course – Sources, Scoops and Spreadsheets
• Planned:
– NCRM (National Centre for Research Methods) colleagues in Southampton
– Speak to all RDI/CI award holders
– Involvement in an RDI bid at University of Manchester
• Speaking at:
– OER12 conference, Cambridge, UK 2012
– 2012RC33 Eighth International Conference on Social Science Methodology,
Sydney, July 2012
43. Findings to date
• Few lecturers are using data at undergraduate
level in social science classes (except economics)
• If data used, mainly in lectures – hands-on is
difficult
• Students hard to enthuse with data
– But the innovative lecturers are attempting to do this
• Sharing of open educational resources
– It’s going to be a long hard slog!
– BUT willingness to share amongst peers as long as
attribution is clear
• Link to skills and employability is important

45. What about openness?
• Is open a step too far
for some?
• Where to share?
• How to develop a
community
• It’s about open practice
not just open
educational resources

47. 4. Adapting to an open data world
• Open data under open licenses
• Open data under open technologies

55. "It's vital to help users of the Census to
express their needs in simple terms and so
swiftly find what they want, without specialist
knowledge…
the Infuse project has already made
great progress towards removing
barriers to access."

Editor's Notes
Mention our varied portfolio of services, including JISC Historic Books and Zetoc – brief explanation of what they can do:Zetoc: One of the world’s most comprehensive research databases, giving access to over 28,000 journals, 45 million article citations and conference papers through the British Library’s electronic table of contents.Makes it easy for you to set-up personalised email Zetoc Alerts or RSS feeds to track the latest articles or journal titles related to your interests.Historic Books: access to three significant digital collections, Early English Books Online (EEBO) and Eighteenth Century Collections Online (ECCO), and 65,000 19th century booksfrom the British Library collection. Deploying Autonomy IDOL to provide our users with significant, powerful search capabilities of full-text content in ways not previously possible.
Benefits of SDMX are to us – easier exchange / ingest of data, less conversion/manual intervention needed and therefore less opportunity to introduce errors.
SIS-CC benefits are primarily to users, better user interface, SDMX Web Service allowing users to build on top of the data
Benefits of Linked Data = improves the discoverable of data by Linking it to the things it is describing. Makes the data understandable to machines, which opens up opportunities for other semantic technologies.Data Cube Vocabulary originated out of the ONS workshop in spring 2010
The CAIRD3 project builds upon a history of successful and productive co-funded collaboration between the ESRC Census Dissemination Unit (CDU) and the Office for National Statistics (ONS). It will continue the CDU’s research into the application of Dimensional Data and Web Data Access approaches to census aggregate datasets, and enable further development of the CDU’s revolutionary new InFuse interface. It will also provide knowledge exchange and technical assistance between the CDU and ONS to inform and support the development of Dimensional Data and Web Data Access approaches by ONS for improved and more efficient dissemination of the 2011 Census Aggregate Outputs. We want to make the census easier to use, so people can:Find census information which meets their needsEnable users to understand the meaning and derivation of census informationdeliver census information in forms that facilitate its use http://infuse.mimas.ac.uk/help/background.html Project partners: CDU and the Office for National StatisticsInnovation: New approach to the data, application of dimensional data, revolutionary new InFuse interface.
Revolutionary new interface for interrogating the Census.
