HORIZON 2020 PROJECT TWINNING OPEN DATA OPERATIONAL

TODO INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON OPEN DATA


November 28 - December 2, 2022

Faculty of Law, University of Zagreb, Croatia


OPEN DATA CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES IN TIMES OF CRISIS AND GROWTH





The TODO International Open Data Conference organised by the Twinning Open Data Operational Project Consortium seeks to address current challenges of open data provision and reuse. This scientific conference, which will also host open data professionals from public and private sector as well as open data users and enthusiasts, aims to highlight benefits and impact of open data for addressing societal problems and economic growth.

In addition to the main sessions which will provide the participants the opportunity to get acquainted and inspired by the recent developments in the open data research, the five-days conference will offer keynote speeches, sessions, special panels, workshops for students and general public, presentation of the Open data MOOC and professionals panels. The conference is expected to host 400 participants from international, regional and local open data academic and professional community, and general public. The conference will be hosted in the hybrid mode, both offline and online, in English as the language of the conference.

We invite interested researchers to apply with their research papers presenting innovative research on open data or case studies on different examples of open data publication, processing and reuse. Within this context, the conference aims at discussing opportunities and challenges, new tools, emerging practices, policies, innovative approaches, “dark” aspects and risks that may raise negative consequences, case studies, and more theoretical contributions concerning the governance, use, impact, adoption and sustainability of open data that may shape future societies.

The research papers may be presented in the form of extended abstracts or poster presentations. Up to 35 research papers and 5 professional papers, with additional 10 posters will be selected for the conference upon review by the Scientific Committee.

The research contributions may address different aspects of open data including, but not limited to, the following tracks and subtopics:
