International FAIR Convergence Symposium will provide a forum for advancing
international and cross-domain convergence around FAIR. The event will bring
together a global data community with an interest in combining data across
domains for a host of research issues - including major global challenges, such
as those relating to the Sustainable Development Goals. Outcomes will directly
link to the CODATA Decadal Programme <a href="http://www.codata.org/strategic-initiatives/decadal-programme" target="_blank">'Data for
the Planet: making data work for cross-domain grand challenges’</a> and to the
