IGP alcanza el segundo lugar en premio internacional por impulso a los datos abiertos y la ciencia pública

The Geophysical Institute of Peru (IGP) has been recognized for its leadership in open science by receiving an international award for the quality and transparency of its public data. This honor underscores the critical importance of managing geophysical information according to international standards, positioning the institution as a regional benchmark for data reuse to strengthen scientific research and evidence-based decision-making. The publication of new strategic datasets, such as meteorological records and volcanic deformation time series, enables proactive disaster risk management. These resources are essential for citizens and institutions, facilitating the development of resilient solutions to extreme weather events and seismic activity, thereby demonstrating how open data directly impacts national security. This achievement is significant for the open data movement because it validates that publishing accessible and well-documented public information generates tangible value for society. By ensuring data interoperability and traceability, the IGP establishes a model of transparency that empowers researchers and citizens, demonstrating that open science is an essential pillar for building more informed and better-prepared nations in the face of natural threats.
