850 data professionals and researchers from all disciplines and from across the
globe convened in Denver, Colorado, USA for the first edition of <b class="">International Data Week (IDW)</b>. This landmark
event, organised by CODATA, the Committee on Data of the International Council
of Science (ICSU), the ICSU World Data System (WDS) and the Research Data
Alliance (RDA), brought together data scientists, researchers, industry
leaders, entrepreneurs, policymakers and data stewards from disciplines across
the globe to explore how best to exploit the data revolution to improve science
and society through data-driven discovery and innovation.</p><p class="MsoNormal">CODATA, RDA, and WDS plan to hold a<b class=""> Second International Data Week (IDW2</b>) in September or October
2018. We are requesting expressions of interest to host the 2<sup class="">nd</sup>
edition of this exciting event. One or more of these expressions of interest
will then be requested to submit a fuller proposal.</p><p class="MsoNormal">For this event, the organisers are interested in reaching
out to new communities and going to a city where we have not hosted a meeting
before. We welcome expressions of interest from countries and organisations
around the world. We would especially like to encourage interest from the
global South and in particular Africa. </p><p class="MsoNormal">Expressions of interest need to demonstrate that local hosts
have access to a suitable <span lang="EN-US" class="">venue;
strong support from local organisations and government; good connections to
universities, industry, and research organisations in the country and region;
and solid financial support.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" class="">We envision
IDW2 as a four-day event that integrates activities of SciDataCon 2018</span>—<span lang="EN-US" class="">the international conference for critical
examination and discussion of the frontier issues of data in research—and the RDA
12<sup class="">th</sup> Plenary – addressing practical issues around data sharing and
reuse. We plan both research sessions and focused working meetings as well as
broad plenary sessions of general interest. The days prior and subsequent to
the meeting will involve business and governance meetings of CODATA, RDA, and
WDS and potentially other co-located meetings.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>
