On the 27th of September, IDAL organized the event “Open Data: new challenges for Society” at the School of Engineering of the University of Valencia. The event was focused on explaining the advantages of open data for society. In the event, different speakers participated from both technological firms as well as public organisms, which shared their knowledge on data science.
Data science is revolutionising many aspects of society. Open and shared data are resulting in great changes in business models, as well as in the way of understanding the government. In the Open Data Conference of 27 September at the ETSE-UV all these issues were explained and we deepen on the different perspectives in the field of study.
Open Data generate a cycle of richness and transparency that benefits society as never seen before. New development and management models appear by using this kind of data that has not stopped growing in volume and diversity during the last years. They are data related to people, societies, firms, public organisms, etc. and that are available to be used.
Among others, the participants of the event were the Autonomous Secretary for Transparency, Zulima Pérez Seguí; Pilar Campíns Falcó, Vice-Principal for Research of the Universitat de València; and Emilio Soria Olivas, Full University Professor of the Universitat and representation of Tinámica, Wolfram Alpha and GMV.
