Love Data Week 2025 is Here!

Calling all data lovers!

We're celebrating International Love Data Week with special events, workshops, and networking opportunities hosted by University of Arizona Institute for Computation & Data-Enabled Insight, Data Science Institute, and University Libraries Data Cooperative.

Love Data Week is an international annual celebration of data during the week of Valentine's Day. It is coordinated by the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR), part of the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan.

This year's theme: Whose Data Is It, Anyway? 

Have you ever wondered who owns data versus who uses data? Different groups may collect data, such as researchers, the government, companies, or organizations. They could own, share, publish it online, or combine it. Asking "Whose Data is it Anyway?" spurs us to think about where data comes from before we use it.
