International Data Week 2025

International Data Week 2025 (IDW 2025) is a global event bringing together researchers, data professionals, policy makers and more to celebrate and advance the role of data in science and society.

The event will showcase how data can be used to address global challenges, foster collaboration and inclusion, and improve research quality and impact.

IDW 2025 will combine the biennial Plenary Meeting of the Research Data Alliance (RDA), an international organisation working to develop and support global infrastructure facilitating data sharing and reuse, and SciDataCon 2025, the scientific conference addressing the frontiers of data in research organised by the International Science Council’s Committee on Data (CODATA) and World Data System (WDS).

This year’s theme of ‘Data for Positive Change’ highlights our commitment to the role of data in instituting change by empowering communities and advancing research.
