Session

DescriptionThe minisymposium emphasizes the pivotal role of data in scientific research and the need for a robust global data infrastructure. Organized by the National Science Data Fabric (NSDF), an international effort for data democratization, it integrates insights from global initiatives presenting cyberinfrastructures for data access, focusing on the navigation of earth science data, fostering FAIR data, and facilitating Nordic research. The minisymposium discusses interdisciplinary approaches to building the global data infrastructure, integrating data delivery across storage, networking, computing, and education to democratize data-driven scientific discovery. The minisymposium is a global forum for scientists to discuss challenges, share successful use cases, and exchange insights on data-driven cyber infrastructures. Dynamic presentations bridge the gap between theory and practice, showcasing impacts on scientific progress. The event's international nature underscores the global relevance of multiple initiatives, providing a dynamic platform for researchers to share best practices and collectively advance data-driven scientific discovery. Speakers and attendees discuss significant strides in creating an integrated data infrastructure and fostering global collaboration for scientific breakthroughs.
