2025 Love Data Week at TXST

February 10–14, 2025

Love Data Week is an international celebration of data, taking place every year during the week of Valentine's Day. The 2025 theme is "Whose Data Is It, Anyway?". Data collected by groups such as researchers, governments, companies, or organizations may be owned, shared, published online, or combined.

At TXST, Love Data Week 2025 is all about raising awareness of the importance of data management, sharing, preservation, and reuse. This year’s celebration features the TXST Open Datathon 2025—a week-long event promoting open data use through open-access resources like the Texas Data Repository. The University Libraries will host this second annual Open Datathon at TXST. The Datathon encourages participants to leverage open data for insights that drive effective decision-making and fosters interdisciplinary collaboration by sharing data and project outcomes with the TXST community. We invite you to join us!

This 2025 Open Datathon Q&A session will give you an overview of the event, resources regarding open data, the theme for the Datathon challenges, and the scoring rubric for the final digital work and presentations. Please come on and join us!
