CODATA 2019: Towards next-generation data-driven science: policies, practices and platforms<br>
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. This conference provides a significant opportunity to survey and examine these developments from a global
perspective.<br>
<br>
The conference themes and guidelines for proposals for presentations and posters may be consulted at <strong><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif"><a href="https://conference.codata.org/conference/CODATA_2019/call_for_presentations/" target="_blank">https://conference.codata.org/conference/CODATA_2019/call_for_presentations/</a></span></strong><o:p></o:p></span></p>
