WorldPop has been included in Infra Finder, a global resource developed by Invest in Open Infrastructure (IOI) to help researchers, funders and organisations discover trusted open infrastructure services.
The listing places WorldPop among a cohort of 47 data-focused resources highlighted through a collaboration between IOI and Wellcome. Infra Finder was created to improve the visibility, adoption and long-term sustainability of the tools and services that underpin research and data-driven decision making.
For our users, inclusion in Infra Finder provides independent recognition of our role in delivering open, high-resolution population data and geospatial resources. These datasets are used by governments, humanitarian organisations and researchers worldwide to support public health planning, disaster response, development programmes and scientific research.
Open infrastructure refers to the shared tools, platforms and services that enable research and innovation. According to IOI, strengthening this infrastructure helps ensure that knowledge, data and technology remain accessible and reusable for the communities that depend on them.
Being listed in Infra Finder makes it easier for potential users, partners and funders to discover our open data and tools and understand the value it brings to the global research ecosystem. It also highlights our commitment to providing open and accessible population data that supports evidence-based decision making.
