STM publisher Elsevier has launched its third global CodeForScience (CFS) competition in collaboration with The National University of Singapore (NUS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Singapore Management University (SMU). CodeForScience is a global series of application development competitions for scientists, researchers and developers.
CFS Singapore is a four-week online application development competition. Participants have the opportunity to compete for first, second, and third place prizes, each requiring unique thinking, programming, and design skill sets. Another award, sponsored by the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (iDA), grants a prize for the application that makes the best use of government data.
Submitted entries will be evaluated based on novelty, usability and value-add to researchers in specific domains or to the general research workflow. Submissions will be judged by a panel of experts from NUS, SMU, NTU and iDA, and Elsevier.
The CodeForScience developer competition runs from August 27 through September 24, 2012. Winning applications will be announced at the CFS Talk & Awards event on September 29, 2012 at NUS, Singapore.
The competition is open to residents of Singapore. Participation guidelines are available at www.codeforscience.com/singapore.
