Lições aprendidas no evento:

The concept of open data was not that common among the research community, although our university (Cluster University Srinagar) promotes and stands for open access. Therefore the programme was scheduled to emphasise over the concept and importance of open data, especially for research and allied areas.

The event was attended by more than 200 participants that include researcher scholars, students and faculty members of various educational institutions across the country, who revealed their keen interest in the theme and curiosity about the availability and use of open data sets in different setups.

The event helped the participants to learn the importance of open data and how it can help in eradicating the overall research gap between east and the west to create a better world.
