The CODATA 2019 Conference will be held on 18-19 September 2019 in Beijing,
China. This year’s conference theme is: Towards next-generation data-driven
science: policies, practices and platforms.  *The conference will follow a
high-level workshop, 16-17 September 2019, on ‘Implementing Open Research
Data Policy and Practice’ that will examine such challenges in China and
elsewhere in the light of the emergence of data policies and in particular
the China State Council’s Notice on ‘Measures for Managing Scientific
Data’.*
*CODATA 2019: Towards next-generation data-driven science**: **policies,
practices, and platforms*

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.*

The convening organisations are pleased to invite you to contribute to the
program by proposing sessions.  The deadline for session proposals is 15
April 2019: *https://conference.codata.org/CODATA_2019/submit/
