Open Data and Collaboration in Action

Talk given as part of a workshop in Our Networks Conference 2020 on "the past, present, and future of building our own network infrastructures". 

Workshop Abstract: https://github.com/ournetworks/2020-submissions/issues/38

As we enter the final decade of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, we have an opportunity to accelerate our progress towards this goal, by more rigorously collecting, analyzing and applying good-quality data to shape programmes that can bring us closer to ending access to digital divide in all its forms. Open data is a critical enabler. The session will bring together the open data community to learn, share, plan and collaborate on the future of open data in the context of COVID-19. The unique nature of the event is to enable participants from various interdisciplinary backgrounds to define strategies that advance open data globally and locally, with the vision that attendees will take their new insights back to their home institutions to grow a vibrant open data community. The session will include Keynote addresses, Q&A sessions and networking breaks
