Among the many activities through which CODATA pursues its strategic mission, organising and collaborating international workshops holds an important place.
CODATA, its Task Groups, Working Groups and National Members organise many workshops and meetings every year. CODATA science and policy workshops bring together major worldwide organizations and partners to focus on data issues and to present up-to-date research on data science.
This page provides links to some of the key events in the CODATA programme of international science and policy workshops.

The Rescue of Data At Risk: A CODATA-RDA Workshop
A workshop on The Rescue of Data At Risk was held in Boulder, Colorado, on 8–9 September 2016, in association with International Data Week that took place the following week in nearby Denver.
The Workshop was organized by the joint CODATA Task Group for Data At Risk and the RDA Interest Group for Data Rescue, and was hosted by NCAR (the National Center for Atmospheric Research), 3090 Center Green Drive, Boulder, CO 80307, USA.
51 people attended the workshop. True to its name, the Workshop “worked” hard, dividing its time between oral presentations of Case Studies and vigorous breakout sessions.
