#PlanetData4
The next #PlanetData event from ODI Leeds takes place on 21 October. The whole day is dedicated to taking Climate Action and advocating for open data.
The first #PlanetData event was launched in 2019 as a response to the Climate Emergency. It was an open, collaborative, and energetic event, where people could share work/data in a neutral environment and either find help or get their work amplified so that it was seen by the right people. In stark contrast to traditionally closed methods, working in this ‘Radically Open’ way speeds up innovation and gets things done. Make your work easy to find, allow people to access it with no barriers, and let people contribute in easy and meaningful ways. Participation without permission.
The Climate Crisis is not going away, so neither will the #PlanetData events. Join ODI Leeds for the fourth instalment, where you can find out about amazing climate projects that are happening and can be joined in with right now.
This event is being supported by the Kingdom of the Netherlands, sponsors Arup and with funding from Innovation@Leeds.
