Data is the new oil 📈 powering our world. From stats and maps 📍 to real-time sensors 📶 and experiment results 🔬, responsibly collecting, managing and sharing data has become critical.#
As our societies run on data to drive decisions and insights, we need a robust global data infrastructure to:
🌳 Combat climate change
📝 Support evidence-based policies
📵 Fight online exploitation & disinfo
👥 Confront societal polarisation
Building this global infrastructure is no easy task though. It requires coordinating across:
🗺️ Borders
🏭 Sectors
🔬 Disciplines
👨💻 Technical standards
📜 Legal regimes
Aligning all those stakeholders with different goals & systems is a complex challenge. The ODI’s #GlobalDataInfrastructure investigates how researchers can break down barriers and unlock cross-boundary collaboration for research tackling global challenges.
