Summary

This international conference will bring together thought leaders from various domains to discuss the critical role of metadata, data stewardship, and cross-domain integration in improving data management, sharing, and reuse.

Description

With research becoming increasingly data-driven and interdisciplinary, the need for structured, well-documented, and accessible data is paramount. This international conference will bring together thought leaders from various domains to discuss the critical role of metadata, data stewardship, and cross-domain integration in improving data management, sharing, and reuse. Central to these discussions are the concepts of reproducibility, data citation, and data access, all of which play vital roles in ensuring that research data is properly managed, credited, and available for future use.
