Open data has expanded into all walks of life, from improving transport ecosystems to tackling the climate crisis around the world. In the cultural sector, open access to data published by and about the sector provides researchers, policymakers and the public with new data sets and insights from some of the most important institutions of our time.

This data has huge potential, and opening it up and combining it with open data about the institutions themselves can help to tackle some of the biggest challenges facing society, and to reach the Sustainable Development Goals.

This session will explore the importance of data stewardship in the cultural sector, and discuss what’s coming next for the sector.
