CODATA International Data Policy Committee organised workshop: The need for data policy in times of crisis*

24 October 2022, 13:00 – 16:30 CEST, part of the 2nd FAIR Convergence Symposium. This workshop discusses the important role of data policy in relation to crisis situations. It examines the scientific, political, and societal elements that need to be considered in preparing for, and responding to, crises. We will explore how data policy contributes to the development of interoperability frameworks across disciplines and sciences and, relatedly, demonstrate the importance of developing proactive data policy to generate effective evidence-based understandings that can provide for responses and solutions to complex global challenges. Data policy is required to ensure smooth interdisciplinary collaboration in disaster or disruptive situations that threaten lives and the public wellbeing. This workshop will provide the groundwork for a multi-disciplinary approach to developing data policy for crisis situations. Building on the International Science Council (ISC)’s vision, this workshop centers on science as a public good, including times of serious societal and natural disruptions to healthy and stable social environments. Well-developed and documented data policy for crisis situations is of vital importance to ensuring that the voice of science plays a strategic role in local, national, regional, and global preparedness and response to disasters or significantly disruptive situations. Workshop Registration Click here to register for the workshop as well as for other sessions that may interest you in the FAIR Convergence Symposium 2022, held online and in Leiden, NL, 24-26 October 2022. Registration is free.

International Data Week will incorporate hybrid (virtual and in person) and fully virtual sessions*

Proposals are invited for sessions at International Data Week’s SciDataCon 2022: Data to Improve our World. Submit your session proposal at the SciDataCon website.

Next Steps and Timescales
The deadline for session proposals is 23:59 UTC on 14 February 2022. Selected sessions will be notified by 1 March 2022. The Call for Sessions will be followed by a general Call for Presentations, which will open on 1 March 2022 with a deadline of 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2022. The Call for Presentations will invite: Presentations specifically for sessions approved from the current call Presentations submitted independent of approved sessions to ‘General Submissions’ (which, if selected, will be organised into thematic sessions by the SciDataCon Programme Committee)It is the responsibility of the organisers of an accepted session to ensure that invited speakers for the session submit their abstracts by the deadline. The SciDataCon Programme Committee may allocate paper(s) from the general Call for Presentations to a session if appropriate and with the agreement of the session organisers. Selected presentations will be notified by 15 April 2022, when we also intend to publish an outline programme.

The Public Library of Science Invites You To Take Its Research Data Survey

Are you a researcher in the United States or Europe? The Public Library of Science (PLOS) encourages you to take its survey on sharing research data. According to the PLOS website, the survey results will "help determine if and how well researchers’ needs are met by existing tools and services for sharing research data, and inform future PLOS initiatives and partnerships – beyond the publication of open access journals." The deadline to take the survey is Tuesday, May 26. Please complete the survey or visit the PLOS website for more information. All participants will have the opportunity to enter their name in a drawing to win a $200 gift card.

CODATA - Data Together COVID-19 Appeal

CODATA together with GO FAIR, RDA, and WDS (the four major international data organizations), are working together to optimize the global research data ecosystem and to identify the opportunities and needs that will trigger federated infrastructures to service the new reality of data-driven science. CODATA, along with six other organizations including UNESCO, has released a statement on documentation during the pandemic.
