<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;color:#333333">Science globally is being transformed by new digital technologies. At the same time addressing the major global challenges of the age requires the analysis of vast quantities
of heterogeneous data from multiple sources. In response, many countries, regions and scientific domains have developed Research Infrastructures to assist with the management, stewardship and analysis. These developments have been stimulated by Open Science
policies and practices, both those developed by funders and those that have emerged from communities. The FAIR principles and supporting practices seek to accelerate this process and unlock the potential of analysis at scale with machines. <strong><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0cm">This
conference provides a significant opportunity to survey and examine these developments from a global perspective.</span></strong><o:p></o:p></span></p>
