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
