From 10 to 13 October 2017, the city of St. Petersburg (Russia) will host the CODATA International Conference "Global Challenges and Data-driven Science" supported by the Russian Science Foundation. |
Since global science is increasingly data-driven, this conference will explore the fundamental issues relating to the availability, (re-)use and scientific analysis of data that relate to the most significant contemporary global challenges.
In particular, it will analyse the intersection between data-driven technological and scientific approaches and specific global challenges and the nexus between:
- Approaches that permit vast quantities of data to be created, stored, recombined and analysed, with the capacity to integrate data from disparate domains to reveal unanticipated relationships, and with the use of powerful learning algorithms to establish deep relationships in complex systems.
- And their application to major global challenges including disaster risk, smart cities and urban development and global environmental change.
