Democratizing Data: Discovering Data Use and Value for Research and Policy

Led by: Harvard Data Science Initiative

  • InnovateUS is co-sponsoring this webinar with the Harvard Data Science Initiative
  • The Harvard Data Science Review has published a special issue, “Democratizing Data: Discovering Data Use for Research and Policy,” presenting cutting-edge ideas on using robust AI tools to support evidence building in public policy and science. Across the globe, researchers and government agencies are working to build collaborative communities to help solve some of society’s most pressing problems, and these new tools are a valuable addition to these important efforts. The authors featured in the special issue address how best to increase access to a broader community of users and democratize data, providing both practical insights and a vision for how bottom up collaborations and communities of practice can help shape the future.
  • You are invited to an upcoming webinar to hear these authors explain directly their ideas and the work that is already underway in the U.S. and abroad. They will discuss critical topics, such as how the tools can be deployed to search and discover data, capturing the value of data, and how data and data usage information can best inform the building of evidence. The webinar is in two parts, with an opportunity to ask questions and learn more about AI tools that are already available or under development. Different authors will be presenting on each of the scheduled days, and you are encouraged to attend both days.
  • If you are part of the open science and evidence building community, whether you are a data producer, a data user, a policy maker, or a community builder, you will want to hear these authors share their knowledge, experience, and practical ideas on how technology can help build a new and sustainable data ecosystem.
