Open Data and the Future of Funded Research

Are researchers ready to share their data? The panelists will discuss the advantages of sharing data openly as well as the practical implications for researchers, particularly those who work with confidential information or who plan to mine a data set for years to come. Panelists: John Wilbanks is the Vice President for Science at Creative Commons, where he runs the Science Commons project. Robert Chen is director of CIESIN (Center for International Earth Science Information Network), a research unit of the Earth Institute at Columbia. Andrew Rundle is an Associate Professor of Epidemiology at the Mailman School of Public Health. To a large degree his research relies upon access to data generated by New York City governmental agencies.
