Empowering data-driven science through ORD: the role of the Strategy Council
Findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable research data (FAIR) is a crucial enabler for data science.
In July 2021, Switzerland’s major players in scientific research— the SNSF, the ETH Domain, the Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences, and swissuniversities—jointly introduced the National Open Research Data (ORD) Strategy. This collaboration continues through the ORD Strategy Council, a governance entity uniting the senior office holders of these institutions in an unprecedented setup.
Their mission is to support the development of a strategic, coordinated, and consolidated open ecosystem of Research Data Infrastructure, and to function as a catalyst, fostering a common vision for the future of ORD in Switzerland.
Angelika Kalt, director of the SNSF and president of the StraCo for 2024 will provide insights into the StraCo’s mandate, structure, and ongoing efforts, underscoring its commitment to fostering international connections, community-driven initiatives, and future-driven science.
