Data is for everyone! Wait ... data are for everyone? Either way, Love Data Week 2022 is about how different folks use data. If you haven't participated before, International Love Data Week is the celebration of data. Love Data Week is dedicated to spreading awareness of the importance of research data management, sharing, preservation, and reuse. Research data are the foundation of the scholarly record and crucial for advancing our knowledge of the world around us.
Join us for a week of events focused on the people side of data: What does data look like in different disciplines? How about biases in data?
