Task Groups and the CODATA Strategic Plan, Mission and Strategy

Task Groups are an important means through which CODATA delivers on its
mission and Strategic Programme. In this 2023 call, we strongly encourage
Task Groups that contribute to one or more of the strategic priorities
listed below and described further in the Call for Task Groups document.
The CODATA ExComm as well as external reviewers of the proposal will be
evaluating the relevance and merit of the proposed Task Group to the CODATA
priorities.
Strategic Plan 2023-2027 Themes and Priority Activities

As the Committee on Data of the International Science Council (ISC), CODATA
helps realise ISC’s vision of advancing science as a global public
good. CODATA does this by promoting international collaboration to advance
trustworthy, equitable and transparent science and to improve the
availability and usability of data for all areas of research.

The Strategic Plan 2023-2027 (full document to be published in May 2023)
describes four priorities through which CODATA takes forward this objective:

   1. Making Data Work for Cross-Domain Grand Challenges: a programme of
   activity to help deliver areas of the ISC Action Plan.
   2. Data Policy: promoting principles, policies and practices for FAIR
   Data and  trustworthy, equitable and transparent science.
   3. Data Science and Data Stewardship: advancing the frontiers of the
   science of data, particularly to enable interoperability and reusability
   4. Data Skills: building capacity for trustworthy, equitable and
   transparent science and data stewardship by improving data skills and
   education.

Proposals should state clearly and specifically how the Task Group will
contribute to the realisation of one or more of these objectives and the
priority activities.

Please refer to the *Call for Task Groups document
<https://codata.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/CODATA-TG-Call-for-Proposals-2023.pdf>
*for
a detailed description of the four themes and related priority activities.
