The CODATA Connect Early Career Network is established to improve the knowledge and sharpen the skills of early career researchers and to organise webinars, workshops and competitions to ensure continual benefit to the scientific data communities around the world.
The Network aims to build connections between early career data professionals and international data sharing communities (e.g. CODATA, GO FAIR, ISC WDS, RDA etc.), and with other early career or young scientist groups (such as the Global Young Academy and others).
A number of capacity building and knowledge sharing activities were organised by the Network in the term 2019 – 2024, with the goals to:
- Enhance capacity building for early career data professionals in different global regions, particularly in countries with developing and emerging economies.
- Develop further activities for early career data professionals and graduate students.
- Facilitate collaboration between different countries for early career data professionals.
