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

Innovate UK
Highlights from our Innovate UK-funded R&D programme The Open Data Institute’s Innovate UK-funded research and development programme has helped organisations in the UK, and across the world, as they develop a new generation of public and private services using data. The work has focused on supporting innovation, improving data infrastructure and encouraging ethical data sharing. The programme links to the ODI’s overall R&D service: we undertake research across a broad range of areas related to open and shared data. -
