Sponsorship & Exhibition
The Organising Committee of the International Data Week 2025 invites you and your organisation to be part of the premier international data Conference.
IDW takes place every two years and is the leading international conference on research data. It is jointly organised by the International Science Council’s Committee on Data (CODATA) and World Data System (WDS), and the Research Data Alliance (RDA). It combines the RDA Plenary Meeting, the biannual meeting of this international member organisation working to develop and support global infrastructure facilitating data sharing and reuse, with SciDataCon, the scientific conference addressing the frontiers of data in research organised by CODATA and WDS. This is the premier opportunity for organisations to network and engage with industry leading professionals.
This year’s theme of Data for Positive Change highlights our commitment to the role of data in instituting change by empowering communities and advancing research – and we’d love to have you join us!
As part of our thanks, we want to ensure that your corporate support is a worthwhile investment and a sound business decision. Please download the prospectus to find out more about the benefits associated with being a Corporate Supporter of the IDW 2025.
