The Opening Data Services in the Social Sciences Conference took place in March 21-22 in Belgrade, Serbia, in the frame of the SERSCIDA project. 

The Conference was the most important gathering in project partner countries for experts and institutions promoting data services and open access of data in Western Balkans. Its main goals were to:

  • Offer presentations on the models of data services, benefits of data services for government, researchers and academic institutions and share plans for the development of new data services in the project partner region;
  • Promote the exchange of ideas and experiences among existing data services in Europe and those that are being developed in project partner countries;
  • Help strengthen the network between data services, government institutions and experts in the project partner countries.

The Conference Keynote Speaker was Denis Huschka of the German Data Forum (RatSWD), where he has worked as Managing Director since 2007. He is also the Executive Director of the International Society for Quality of Life Studies and Founder of the Gesellschaft für Wissenschaftspolitik und Infrastrukturentwicklung (GWI Science Policy and Infrastructure Development Company). Dr. Huschka delivered a Keynote presentation on why should data be shared and how it can be organised. He was joined by data service experts and leaders from Germany, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and experts on open access for data from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia will be participating in the Conference.
