既にご存知かもしれませんがご参考までにお送りいたします。

FEのco-work, co-designの影響と思いますが、
Cloud computing network関係でAmazonが以下のようなグラントを用意しているようです。
AGUもglobal changeと地域共同体の関係で絡んできているようです。 
教育関係でも国際ネットワーク企業と連携した新しい動きが出てきていますね。

To Sharing Science,

American Geophysical Union's Thriving Earth Exchange (TEX), in association 
with Amazon Web Services (AWS), is helping scientists, leaders, and 
technologists use cloud computing to advance Earth and space science 
solutions. Through this work, grants will be provided to exemplary 
co-designed solutions that address local challenges related to natural 
resources, climate change and natural hazards. These grants will help move 
local solutions to the cloud, with technical support, so each solution can 
be adapted by and improved upon by other teams in other communities facing 
similar challenges.

The submission deadline is 16 October.
In order to enter, please complete your name and email address and click the 
'save and continue later' button. A member of the TEX team will then contact 
you to discuss next steps on how best to complete your submission.

Prizes
Four winners will receive $15,000 in grant funds to use AWS on-demand cloud 
services. Terms and conditions for grant use, apply: 
http://aws.amazon.com/education/terms/. Teams  will also win the opportunity 
to attend the 2015 AGU Fall Meeting and inspire future innovation by 
presenting at the  Sharing Solutions  Event in March 2016.

Selected Projects
All four winning projects will be selected by a multidisciplinary panel of judges.

Three winning projects must be a working prototype designed to enable policy 
makers, city planners, citizens, or scientists to address local or regional 
challenges related to natural resources, climate change or natural hazards.

An additional winner will be selected for student engagement; this project 
should encourage the use of technology to improve k-12 and/or college 
student participation in solving any of the challenge areas above.
