I was very honored this morning to moderate the Opening session of the ⁦Group on Earth Observations⁩ #ODOK2024 and the speakers have been outstanding. I hope you have already experimented this feeling of happiness when you listen speeches where each word is just perfect 🧵

In 1 hour they have set the scene explaining why it is so important to share #data and #OpenKnowledge . That the value of the data is not its cost but the value and societal benefits it creates out of its different uses and reuses. Thank you Barbara Ryan 🧵
