SUMMARY:Leveraging Open Data to Build Safe\, Just\, and Thriving Communities
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP) at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering will host an evening convening from 4:00–6:00 PM\, followed by a light reception from 6:00–7:00 PM. The event brings together students\, researchers\, public-sector leaders\, and community partners to explore how open urban data informs public decision-making in New York City. The program highlights applied work at the intersection of data science\, governance\, and community outcomes\, with a focus on how publicly available datasets are interpreted and translated into policy and practice. \nThe formal program begins with remarks from CUSP leadership\, followed by 10-minute lightning talks from students and community collaborators showcasing projects grounded in NYC Open Data. These presentations demonstrate how datasets related to public safety\, housing\, health\, and civic accountability are analyzed\, contextualized\, and communicated. The evening continues with a moderated panel discussion led by CUSP’s Debanjan Roychoudhury. Speakers include Alaa Moussawi\, Chief Data Scientist for the New York City Council\, and Sandhya Kajeepeta\, Senior Researcher and Statistician at the Legal Defense Fund’s Thurgood Marshall Institute. The discussion will examine how open data shapes public narratives\, informs institutional decision-making\, and supports cross-sector collaboration. \nA reception will immediately follow the panel\, offering space for informal dialogue\, networking\, and continued cross-sector exchange. The convening is open to participants of all technical backgrounds and emphasizes thoughtful analysis\, responsible data use\, and real-world application within NYC governance systems.

SUMMARY:From Open Data to Data Commons: Building Civic Infrastructure for the Culture and Arts Sector
DESCRIPTION:What if the problem isn’t a lack of data\, but a lack of infrastructure to share and reuse it responsibly over time? \nWhen working with data\, we often treat collection as the end of the story—focusing on efficient ways to acquire and store it—while neglecting the data’s longer life: making it findable\, interpretable\, re-usable\, and actionable beyond its original purpose. Responsible reuse depends not just on technical infrastructure but also on shared practice. \nWith the Culture Data Commons as a starting point\, join us in conversation with Stefaan Verhulst\, co-founder of the GovLab and The Data Tank\, on responsible data reuse and the opportunities of data stewardship through collective practices and participatory governance. \nOrganized by the Culture & Arts Policy Institute and hosted by BRIC\, this session\, part of Open Data Week 2026\,  invites cultural leaders\, researchers\, technologists\, policymakers\, and funders to rethink data governance in the arts and to consider how collective data infrastructure can transform information into shared power.  \nRSVP here \nABOUT THE CULTURE DATA COMMONS\nDeveloped by the Culture & Arts Policy Institute\, the Culture Data Commons (The Commons) is a collectively stewarded shared data space for the culture and arts sector. It brings together datasets\, tools\, and governance practices to enable organizations to share\, access\, and reuse information responsibly. More than a portal\, it is a collaborative framework that centers participation\, transparency\, and collective decision-making in how culture data is stewarded and applied.

SUMMARY:Forging Links Between Public Scholarship\, Civic Tech\, and Open Data: A Showcase of CUNY Public Scholarship Practice Space (PS2) Projects
DESCRIPTION:Public scholarship has been a core value and practice of the CUNY Graduate Center since its founding 1961\, and long part of the culture of CUNY\, the largest urban public university in the United States. Increasingly\, public scholars committed to creating and disseminating knowledge in service of the public good work with open data in their projects\, and disseminate their work in open scholarly publishing platforms\, curate and release public datasets\, and engage in digital media to share their work for public audiences. \nThis interactive panel discussion will provide an overview of how public scholarship\, scholar activism\, and open data have many existing links in projects supported by The Public Scholarship Practice Space (PS2) at The Center for the Humanities at The CUNY Graduate Center. It will then showcase and reflect on several recent projects completed by graduate students at CUNY whose work focused on public scholarship\, activism\, arts-based methods\, digital equity\, and civic tech. Three of the identified presenters were 2025 Early Research Initiative/Public Scholarship Practice Space 2025 Summer Research Fellows and two presenters were Social Practice CUNY Fellows. \n– Ian G. Williams will share his research on digital literacy\, civic tech networks\, and democracy through participation in The Impacts of Civic Technology Conference (TICTeC) in Mechelen\, Belgium in July 2025\, experiments in creating pedagogical tools bridging open data literacy and data justice in a social work classroom while examining 311 complaints about homelessness\, and involvement with the NYC Public Interest Tech (PIT) Pop-Up this fall. Read Ian’s write-up on summer activities here. \n– Seon Britton will share his research on community technology organizations (CTOs) working to advance digital equity and inclusion in New York City through broadband internet service provision\, including fieldwork with Silicon Harlem and NYC Mesh. His work argues that CTOs are a new type of organization that can help in providing internet access to currently underserved communities. Read Seon’s write-up on summer activities here. \n– Jaclyn Reyes and Ezra Undag will share their work with The UKAI Initiative\, a transnational collaboration of artists\, cultural workers and researchers in the US and in the Philippines that aims to advance environmental and climate justice through art\, culture and community-building. The UKAI Initiative has several projects; this presentation will focus on the project\, “Transnational Clothing Pathways.” Read more about The UKAI Initiative here.

SUMMARY:Advancing Climate Compliance: How Data Informs & Challenges Building Retrofits and Decarbonization (Local Law 97)
DESCRIPTION:Local Law 97 of 2019 is one of the nation’s most ambitious climate laws\, setting carbon emissions limits for most large buildings across New York City. As the first major compliance deadlines take effect\, data has become a central driver—shaping how agencies\, nonprofits\, and building owners understand performance\, identify risks\, and plan for long-term decarbonization. \nThis session brings together experts from city agencies and the private sector partners to explore how open data and public datasets are transforming the city’s approach to building emissions. Speakers from NYC Housing Preservation & Development (HPD)\, the Department of Buildings (DOB)\, the Mayor’s Office of Climate & Environmental Justice (MOCEJ)\, and Cadence OneFive will share how their organizations use data to implement the law\, monitor energy usage\, model carbon impacts\, develop compliance services\, and design equitable climate strategies. \nProfessionals\, civic technologists\, and the general public who are interested in the role of data in climate resiliency\, building decarbonization\, affordable housing\, and climate policy will most benefit from attending this session.
