International Data Week 2025: Data for positive change: Empowering communities and advancing research
IDW takes place every two years and is the leading international conference on research data. It is jointly organised by the International Science Council’s Committee on Data (CODATA) and World Data System (WDS), and the Research Data Alliance (RDA). It combines the RDA Plenary Meeting, the biannual meeting of this international member organisation working to develop and support global infrastructure facilitating data sharing and reuse, with SciDataCon, the scientific conference addressing the frontiers of data in research organised by CODATA and WDS. The Australian Research Data Commons is delighted to be hosting the conference for the first time in Australia.
The conference theme, ‘Data for Positive Change’, highlights our commitment to the role of data in instituting change by empowering communities and advancing research.
