Who Owns Data? Public Voices, Power and Innovation

Description

A Symposium to think critically about the use of data, and how we balance innovation in data-intensive research with public trust, accountability, and evolving public opinion.

Lunch is provided.

Venue

In person - Leolin Price Lecture Theatre, UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health.

Target audience

• Students and researchers in data science with interest in ethics (in collaboration with the Bioethics Society)

• Users of linked administrative and health data, and methodologists working in linkage, governance and infrastructure (including members of the ITALO and SPRINT networks, and DARE UK–funded communities)

Proposed outcome
Participants will leave with clearer language and a practical framework for talking about “who owns data”, along with concrete ideas for how to embed public voices into data governance and project design, so they can better justify, adapt and communicate their data practices in ethically robust, socially responsive ways.
