It's International Love Data Week!

Celebrate Love Data Week with us! Every year around Valentine’s Day, universities, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, corporations, and individuals host and participate in data-related events and activities. This year’s theme “Data: Agent of Change” aims to inspire people to use data to bring about changes that matter. If data is accessible to everyone and guides our decision-making, we can move mountains regarding policy, environment, and society.

Participate in Love Data Week and join some of the many exciting online events hosted around the world! This year, they are geared towards helping new and seasoned data users find data training and other resources to bring about change. Follow us on Twitter and Mastodon and get inspired by some of the highlights. Moreover, find out about fascinating open datasets which are available from Eawag, Empa , PSI, and WSL that are already agents of change – both on social media and in DORA! Maybe they will inspire you in your work or to publish your data and research Open Access as well?
