Charleston Conference Asia is a new event that will be hosted for the first time in 2026 in Bangkok, Thailand.
Speakers
“A Decade of Open Data: Insights, Impact, and the Path Forward for Asia.”
Wednesday 28 January, 1:30 PM – 2:15 PM ICT
Presented by Mark Hahnel (VP of Open Research, Digital Science, and founder, Figshare) and Bella Ratmelia (Senior Librarian, Research and Data Services, Singapore Management University Libraries).
Over the past 10 years, the State of Open Data report has tracked the evolution of open data practices in global research. Drawing on a rich dataset of qualitative and quantitative insights, this talk will explore how open data attitudes and behaviors have shifted, with a particular focus on Asian research institutions. As AI increasingly shapes the future of scientific discovery, the quality, accessibility, and dissemination of research data are more important than ever.
