Agro-informatics Tech Talk on The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) DataPort: Driving Research and Innovation, Friday, 14 March, 15:00 – 16:00 CET

Join us on Friday, 14 March at 15:00 CET for another session of FAO Agro-informatics TechTalks on “The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) DataPort: Driving Research and Innovation” by Dr. Rakesh Kumar, Chair, IEEE DataPort and Chair, IEEE Future Directions and Melissa Handa, Program Director, Technical Activities. 

Data is being generated at an unprecedented rate and is often compared to "new oil" or "gold" due to its crucial role in research and innovation. In Agroinformatics, data is key to accelerating agricultural research worldwide. IEEE DataPort is a data management platform with over 13 million users and 7,500+ research datasets. This session will highlight IEEE DataPort’s ease of use and key features, including data discovery, free 2TB storage with Digital Objective Identifier assignment, and hosting data competitions. Published datasets and real-world applications will be showcased.
