    are hosting this year's NASA International space apps challenge at Bangalore. There is no registration fee to participate. Registration starts at 0900 hrs on 12th April, 2014.


    Keynote Speaker: Dr.Jayant Murthy, Professor, Indian Institute of Astrophysics, will be addressing the gathering on Open Science, Open Data and Computing within the Indian context.

    Title of Talk :  Open Data and Open Science - 10:00am

    As Big Science gets bigger and yields massive amounts of data, we are left with a host of insurmountable problems from the physical - How do we store and access so much data? - to the computational - How do we process the data with increasingly complex models? - to the sociological - How do we change our paradigm so that we efficiently use the data with a limited pool of skilled manpower. I will also touch on some philosophical aspects of this problem - Should all data be free and what are the implications of this on policy and on individuals.


    Guest Speaker : Narayan Prasad, Co-Founder,     Dhruva Space

    Narayan will talk about issues surrounding Open Data, Citizen Science and Governance while taking us on a journey of Bangalore based Dhruva Space, one of the world's few start-ups, looking at solutions ranging from small satellite development (CUBESAT, ARDUSAT), near space environmental design, high altitude balloon imaging and internet, many of these using open source hardware devices like the Arduino.



    Note:
    There would be a 'Solution presentation session' for all the challenges undertaken at the CIS-India, Bangalore venue, at 1700 hrs on 13th April, 2014. This presentation is required to nominate the solutions for Local and Global Awards. Participants are requested to make arrangements for being present at the venue until 1900 hrs.
