Many Opportunities from The World Academy of Sciences

 

TWAS Plus – Vol. 2 –  No. 1 – January 2016
TOP STORY  The digital revolution has produced oceans of data that can help researchers to recognise subtle but powerful patterns in areas ranging across the sciences. But to achieve the full benefit, “big data” must be open data. Now TWAS, IAP and other major international science organisations are calling for global endorsement of their new accord, “Open Data in a Big Data World”.
