My Data Challenges for 2020 - Brendan Dalton, CIO, CSIRO Australia

CSIRO’s purpose as Australia’s national science agency is to solve Australia’s greatest challenges through innovative science and technology - A role it has been performing for the past 100 years. Digital science underpins everything we do. In fact, we see being the best at doing digital science as fundamental to our future. Put another way, if we aren’t the best at digital science we won’t be able to solve the greatest challenges. And it's all underpinned by data!

So my data challenges for 2020 are:
Introducing a new operating model for CSIRO supporting better data management for science - we manage data better, more consistently, and so our data is F.A.I.R.

Developing a data literate workforce

Creating platforms supporting data management across science disciplines and

Creating a managed science data ecosystem for CSIRO as an exemplar for Australia and a shared resource with our collaborators.
