11 December 2020: ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb will be publicly releasing so-called level 3 scientific data [1], the type required to make scientific studies, collected by the LHC experiments. Data will start to be released approximately five years after collection, and the aim is for the full dataset to be publicly available by the close of the experiment concerned. The level 3 data released can contribute to scientific research in particle physics, as well as research in the field of scientific computing, for example to improve reconstruction or analysis methods based on machine learning techniques, an approach that requires rich data sets for training and validation. In practice, scientific datasets will be released through the CERN Open Data Portal [2], which already hosts a comprehensive set of data related to the LHC and other experiments.
