*The need for data policy in times of crisis*

Workshop organised by the CODATA International Data Policy Committee
<https://codata.org/initiatives/data-policy/international-data-policy-committee/>on
24 October 2022, 13:30 – 17:00 CEST as part of the 2nd FAIR Convergence
Symposium
<https://codata.org/events/conferences/fair-convergence-symposium-2022/> (refer
to this page for registration and the Symposium programme overview).
Workshop Description

This workshop discusses the role of data policy in relation to crisis
situations. It examines the scientific, political, and societal elements
needing to be considered in preparing for, learning from, and responding to
crises. The focus is on how data policy contributes to the development of
interoperability frameworks across disciplines and sciences for science
decision-making in situations of severe disruption or disaster. The
discussants will explore pathways for developing proactive data policy to
generate effective evidence-based understandings that can provide for
responses and solutions to complex global challenges.

Data policy provides a governance framework for why and how data is
managed: within science, for use by science, and as a contribution to
economic, social, and political decision-making. Robust data policy is
required to ensure smooth interdisciplinary and cross-sector collaboration
in disruptive or disaster situations that threaten lives and the public
wellbeing. This workshop will provide the groundwork for a
multi-disciplinary approach to developing data policy for crisis situations
within a larger framework of established and developing national and
international crisis management systems.

Building on the International Science Council (ISC)’s vision, this workshop
centers on science as a public good, including in times of serious health,
natural, and geopolitical disruptions to stable social environments.
Well-developed and documented data policy for crisis situations is of vital
importance to ensuring that science plays a strategic role in local,
national, regional, and global preparedness and response to significantly
disruptive or disaster situations.
Workshop Objectives

The principal objective of this workshop is to examine the scientific,
political, and societal frameworks needed to develop data policy with a
view towards addressing crisis situations. In this context, the workshop
will pursue the following specific objectives:

   1. using data policy to promote the responsible practice and use of
   science in crisis situations; and
   2. promoting cross-discipline and cross-sector integration of data
   policy in crisis situations through a reliance on cross-cutting frameworks
   for data generation, data processing, and data sharing: the FAIR Data
   Principles, data integrity, data stewardship, data ethics and Open Science
   in the contexts of CODATA’s The Beijing Declaration on Research Data
