Hurdles to International Science Cooperation: Data Sharing & Management

Monday September 23, 2024 8:30am - 12:30pm EDT

Modern research generates massive amounts of raw data, metadata, and data products. Data management is a critical component of successful research networks, and by ensuring that data is appropriately collected, stored, and shared, researchers can conduct transparent, reproducible, high-quality research. At the international level, data management across collaborators is met with a fundamental barrier: variation in data management regulations, practices, and infrastructure; these practices have significant implications for data protection and research security.

The panel will bring together experts on team science working at the international scale funded through two international networking programs (US NSF AccelNet and EU-based EU COST). The programs are unique because they fund international networking activities, not research. These teams work across all UN SDGs, including astronomy, biodiversity, climate change, and sustainability. Panellists will comment on the barriers they face in data sharing/access/dissemination/storage/regulations, any solutions they have identified and implemented, and reflections on the need for data protection against data sharing to advance science. Institutions and professionals engaged in data sharing and management can bring another point of view and a managerial approach to data sharing to the table.
We aim to create synergies between all actors involved, share best practices, raise awareness about data sharing, and exchange and promote data management principles among researchers and society at large.
