The Shanghai Municipal Science and Technology Commission and the Shanghai Municipal Data Bureau have jointly issued the "Shanghai Municipal Scientific Data Management Measures (Trial)," effective November 1, 2026, for a two-year period. The Measures encourage the application of technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and privacy computing to establish a mechanism for the development, utilization, and open sharing of scientific data that is discoverable, authorizable, traceable, and assessable, thereby promoting the sharing and use of scientific data in Shanghai and the Yangtze River Delta region. They also support the development of scientific data products and value-added services, promote the compliant circulation and trading of scientific data, explore a benefit-sharing mechanism based on value contribution, and support eligible data products in carrying out intellectual property or data property rights registration. In addition, Shanghai will incorporate high-quality scientific data sets into its research achievement evaluation system and promote the processing of scientific data into high-quality corpora required for artificial intelligence.
