This year, Love Data Week (LDW) runs from February 12 to 16. The goal is to celebrate data, foster data driven community by raising global awareness about all things data; and promote the importance of data driven research, decision making and data management.
You are invited to our month-long February series of events, data-related classes, viz competition, data-career panel, lightning talks and more...a collective celebration of Love Data Week 2024.

Every year, the week around Valentine’s Day is celebrated as the International Love Data Week 2024 and is hosted by ICPSR. Organizations involved in the stewardship, use, and reuse of data collectively spotlight the importance of caring for the data used in our research, policy planning, and scholarly pursuit.
The theme of this year is "My Kind of Data."
Data is personal. Join International Love Data Week February 12-16, 2024, to learn about data equity and inclusion, disciplinary communities, and creating a kinder world through data.
