*Register now to attend the international conference on data sharing and
integration to address major global research issues!*
SciDataCon 2014 is motivated by the conviction that the most
significant research challenges - and in particular the pressing issues
relating to global sustainability - cannot be properly addressed without
due attention to various issues relating to data.  SciDataCon aims to make
explicit the connection between concrete and specific challenges to ensure
environmental protection, economic prosperity and social well being along
with the research questions that arise from these challenges and
the necessary role of data policy, management and analysis in addressing
these research questions. The effectiveness and credibility of research
findings rely on the widest possible availability of quality-assessed and
interoperable datasets.

Accordingly, with the ambition of building a bridge between
important research concerns and related data issues, the programme is
structured around four tracks which correspond to the research themes of
ICSU's flagship Future Earth programme, while also taking into account
the challenges of data science and services.
