| Summary:
Policy Brief on "AstroInformatics, Recommendations for Global Collaboration",
distilled from panel discussions during S20 Policy Webinar on Astroinformatics
for Sustainable Development held on 6-7 July 2023.
The deliberations encompassed a wide array of topics, including broad
astroinformatics, sky surveys, large-scale international initiatives, global
data repositories, space-related data, regional and international collaborative
efforts, as well as workforce development within the field. These discussions
comprehensively addressed the current status, notable achievements, and the
manifold challenges that the field of astroinformatics currently confronts.
The G20 nations present a unique opportunity due to their abundant human and
technological capabilities, coupled with their widespread geographical
representation. Leveraging these strengths, significant strides can be made in
various domains. These include, but are not limited to, the advancement of STEM
education and workforce development, the promotion of equitable resource
utilization, and contributions to fields such as Earth Science and Climate
Science.
We present a concise overview, followed by specific recommendations that
pertain to both ground-based and space data initiatives. Our team remains
readily available to furnish further elaboration on any of these proposals as
required. Furthermore, we anticipate further engagement during the upcoming G20
presidencies in Brazil (2024) and South Africa (2025) to ensure the continued
discussion and realization of these objectives.
The policy webinar took place during the G20 presidency in India (2023).
Notes based on the seven panels will be separately published.
