[image: http://www.codata.org/uploads/images/codata_logo.png]*About CODATA*

CODATA exists to promote global collaboration to improve the availability
and usability of data for all areas of research. CODATA supports the
principle that data produced by research and susceptible to be used for
research should be as open as possible a

nd as closed as necessary. CODATA works also to advance the
interoperability and the usability of such data: research data should be
intelligently open or FAIR. By promoting the policy, technological and
cultural changes that are essential to make research data more widely
available and more usable, CODATA helps advance ICSU’s mission of
strengthening international science for the benefit of society.

The updated CODATA *Strategic Plan 2015*
<http://www.codata.org/about-codata/codata-strategic-plan-2013-2018>
and *Prospectus
of Strategy and Achievement 2015-2017
<https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1034217>* identify three priority areas:



1.    promoting principles, policies and practices for Open Data and Open
Science;

2.    advancing the frontiers of data science;

3.    building capacity for Open Science by improving data skills and the
functions of national science systems needed to support open data.

CODATA achieves these objectives through a number of standing committees
and strategic executive led initiatives, and through its Task Groups and
Working Groups. CODATA supports the Data Science Journal and collaborates
on major data conferences like SciDataCon and International Data Week.
