The ODI’s ongoing research work includes:
- Exploring the evidence for the impact of open data
- Research and development of tools and standards to assist producers, publishers and users of open data
- Examining the implications, challenges and opportunities of deploying open data at web scale
- Applications of open data to address or illuminate real-world problems
If you’d like to collaborate with us on a research project there are a number of possible opportunities:
- Externally funded research projects related to open data
- Research grant proposals: we actively participate in proposal development for research funding schemes such as FP7/Horizon2020 and UK research councils.
- Research visits, placements and secondments: we consider requests for researchers wishing to spend time at the ODI
- Student projects: we work with universities to develop (and where appropriate, to co-supervise) student projects related to open data
