Big Data/Open Data

Organizations from around the world joined the Science International initiative for open access to publicly funded "big data" sets.

Big data is a double-edged sword that can bring profit to few but also benefits to many, experts from Africa and Italy said at TWAS's Trieste Next roundtable.

How can less-developed countries take advantage of the data revolution and prevent another digital divide?

Raccogliere e gestire i big data può essere impegnativo per i paesi in via di sviluppo. Ma si tratta di un'attività che potrebbe portare soluzioni efficaci per molti problemi globali.

Science International, co-organized by TWAS, IAP, ICSU and ISSC, has a new website to support its "open data" endorsement campaign.

TWAS and IAP have joined a new coalition that plans to address a range of important issues – starting with the big data revolution.
