Description

In the new book The State of Open Data: Histories and Horizons, over 200 contributors have built up a picture of progress and challenges in securing the publication and use of open data across a wide range of sectors and stakeholders: from work on anti-corruption and extractives industries, to the work of statistical offices and international funders.

Join us to learn findings from this huge project and to explore:

  • Key lessons from the last decade of work on open data across the world;

  • The changing landscape for open data, and the impending identity crisis faced by open data practitioners;

  • Actions needed to secure the future of open data as a sustainable development tool;

We’ll start with an overview of The State of Open Data Book from visiting co-editor Tim Davies, followed by World Café-style small group discussions led by authors of a number of chapters from the State of Open Data book.

Around 6.30pm we will wrap up and have further informal conversations over drinks as a happy hour.

Read more about the book here.
