<p>Dear Asha, <br>
</p>
<p>Thanks for sharing the declaration. It is a great document and a
very valuable knowledge resource. Since I am currently preparing a
workshop on science diplomacy for diplomats with the special focus
on Open Science and data sharing for Global Health, and I would
like to use the declaration there, I was wondering, what the next
steps are. How is the declaration going to be used?</p>
<p>With best regards</p>
<p>Katja Mayer<br>

challenges related to the environment, human health, and
sustainability confront science and society. Understanding
and mitigating these challenges in a rapidly
changing environment require data[1] to be FAIR (Findable,
Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) and as open as
possible on a global basis. Scientific discovery must not be
impeded unnecessarily by fragmented and closed systems, and
the stewardship of research data should avoid defaulting to
the traditional, proprietary approach of scholarly
publishing. Therefore, the adoption of new policies and
principles, coordinated and implemented globally, is necessary
for research data and the associated infrastructures, tools,
services, and practices. The time to act on the basis of solid
policies for research data is now.</div>

Beijing Declaration is intended as a timely statement of core
principles to encourage global cooperation, especially
for public research data. It builds on and acknowledges the
many national and international efforts that have been
undertaken in the policy and technical spheres on a worldwide
basis. These major contributions are listed in the Appendix. </div>

multilateral and cross-disciplinary cooperation and the
broad reuse of data to improve coherence concerning recent
UN landmark agreements, such as the Paris
Climate Agreement, the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk
Reduction, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the
Convention on Biological Diversity, the Plant Treaty, the
World Humanitarian Summit, and others. The comprehensive
agendas for action provided by these agreements requires
access to and reuse of all kinds of data.</li>

7px;line-height:26px">Research and problem-solving,
especially addressing the SDG challenges, are increasingly
complex and driven by ‘big data’, resulting in the need to
combine and reuse very diverse data resources across
multiple fields. This poses an enormous challenge in
the interoperability of data and responsible stewardship,
with full respect for privacy.</li>

7px;line-height:26px">Rapid advances in the technologies
that generate and analyze data pose major challenges
concerning data volume, harmonization, management,
sharing, and reuse. At the same time, emerging
technologies (including machine learning) offer new
opportunities that require access to reusable data
available in distributed, yet interoperable, international
data resources.</li>

7px;line-height:26px">Changing norms and ethics encourage
high-quality research through greater transparency,
promote the reuse of data, and improve trustworthiness
through the production of verifiable and reproducible
research results. Increasing the openness of research data
is efficient, improving the public return on investment,
and generating positive externalities.</li>

7px;line-height:26px">Open Science initiatives are
emerging globally, including in less economically
developed countries. There consequently are opportunities
for these countries to take advantage of
technological developments to develop a greater share in
scientific production. Without determined action, there is
also a risk that the divide in scientific production will
widen.</li>
