The GODAN Summit (15-16 September 2016, New York) is the first global conference organized by GODAN, convening all interested in the opening, the use, and the impact of agriculture and nutrition data.

At the GODAN Summit open data researchers and practitioners will have the opportunity to discuss their latest findings at the “Open Data Research Symposium”.

GODAN is calling for research contributions on all aspects of open data activity in the sector, covering but not limited to:

• Release (release of open data sets in particular fields e.g. water, soil, meteorology, market, nutritional content of food, etc.)
• Interoperability (standards, vocabularies, semantics, etc.)
• Governance (discussions of privacy, security, ownership, etc.)
• Impact (application of open data with a demonstrable impact or methods to track impact)
• Policy tools (informing policy makers and other policy actors, monitoring tools, etc.)

There is still room in the programme to discuss a range of important topics and present research papers. If you have suggestions for a topic that you would like to discuss please fill in this form or contact the GODAN Secretariat by e-mail at research@godan.info. If you want to present your research please submit your abstract.
