The TODO International Open Data Conference organised by the Twinning Open
Data Operational Project Consortium seeks to address current challenges of
open data provision and reuse. This scientific conference, which will also
host open data professionals from public and private sector as well as open
data users and enthusiasts, aims to highlight benefits and impact of open
data for addressing societal problems and economic growth.

In addition to the main sessions which will provide the participants the
opportunity to get acquainted and inspired by the recent developments in
the open data research, the five-days conference will offer keynote
speeches, sessions, special panels, workshops for students and general
public, presentation of the Open data MOOC and professionals panels. The
conference is expected to host 400 participants from international,
regional and local open data academic and professional community, and
general public. The conference will be hosted in the hybrid mode, both
offline and online, in English as the language of the conference.

We invite interested researchers to apply with their research papers
presenting innovative research on open data or case studies on different
examples of open data publication, processing and reuse. Within this
context, the conference aims at discussing opportunities and challenges,
new tools, emerging practices, policies, innovative approaches, “dark”
aspects and risks that may raise negative consequences, case studies, and
more theoretical contributions concerning the governance, use, impact,
adoption and sustainability of open data that may shape future societies.

The research contributions may address different aspects of open data
including, but not limited to, the following tracks and subtopics:

   - Track 01: Governance and policies for open data
   - Track 02: Stakeholders and data reuse in the open data ecosystem
   - Track 03: Open data technical considerations (Architecture & Portals)
   - Track 04: Impact and value of/for open data
   - Track 05: Open data practice and research evaluation and assessment
   - Track 06: Open data sustainability issues
