The Ethical Data Initiative

Flying over to Bogotá this week to discuss the future of biodiversity data sharing with the best of the world community devoted to this key task - a real honour and a fantastic learning opportunity The Ethical Data Initiative Pianeta Association Public Science Lab GBIF: The Global Biodiversity Information Facility Research Data Alliance (RDA) European Research Council (ERC) TransforM Cluster - Munich Center for Transformative Technologies and Societal Change International Society for the History, Philosophy and Social Studies of Biology (ISHPSSB)

Really looking forward to this event next week and joining the panel with Devika Madalli Cameron Neylon

🌟 Join Us for an Inspiring Discussion on Data and AI in Research and the implications for research categories and interdisciplinarity. 📅 How Data and AI Are Reshaping Research Categories and Methods: Implications for Disciplinary Boundaries and Scientific Practice   🕛 15 October 2025   🕙 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM CEST (10:00 AM - 11:30 AM UTC)   👉 Find out more and register: https://lnkd.in/e9q25YEu The landscape of scientific research is evolving at an unprecedented pace, fuelled by the surge of data and advancements in artificial intelligence. These changes affect research methodologies, educational practices, and the very fabric of various disciplines. Join us and expert panellists Cameron Neylon, Devika Madalli and Astrid Wissenburg for a thought-provoking panel discussion as we delve into: - How AI and data technologies are transforming various research disciplines - The opportunities and challenges of this new data-driven paradigm - Strategies for interdisciplinary collaboration and effective practices in research ethics As part of the Research Assessment for Ethics, Data and AI Discussion Series with CoARA-ERIP, CoARA - Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment, Research Data Alliance (RDA) and CODATA, this event aims to foster an enriching dialogue among scholars, practitioners, and policymakers dedicated to navigating the complexities of an increasingly data-centric world. We hope to see you there! 👩🔬👨🔬 #Research #Data #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Ethics #Interdisciplinary #Science #Innovation #PanelDiscussion #RegistrationOpen Hochschule für Politik München TUM Think Tank Institute for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at University of Exeter University of Exeter Global Partnerships Markus B.

🌍💡 Join us for the next discussion in the Ethical Data Discussion Series, -a joint project with the Association of African Universities - as we address a critical topic in today's data-driven world: Decolonising Data: Towards Equitable Data Governance and Knowledge Production in Science and Research. 📅 Wednesday 8 October, 12h00-13h30 CET (10h00-11h30 UTC) This special edition features international expert panellists Gitanjali Yadav, Dr. Kutoma Wakunuma, Pascal Mwakio, and Evelyn Chiyevo Garwe. We'll be discussing the urgent need for equitable data governance, particularly in the context of global research collaborations. Join us as we explore the historical and contemporary inequities in data practices and discuss actionable solutions centred around data sovereignty and community-led governance. Let’s foster a meaningful dialogue among researchers, policymakers, and community advocates to promote ethical and locally-empowered knowledge production. 👉 Register here: https://lnkd.in/epVPyeab Juliet Thondhlana, Selin Arpaci, Kathryn Bailey, Suchith Anand, Agyemang Okyere Darko , Ph.D #DecolonisingData #EquitableDataGovernance #EthicalData #DataSovereignty #GlobalCollaboration #ResearchEquity #CommunityEmpowerment

We are excited to announce a new Ethical Data Initiative research theme and the topic of our November Townhall: Recommender Systems for Public Good. Based on the research of our Heads of Research Silvia Milano (TUM) and Stephan Guttinger (University of Exeter). Discover and discuss how these powerful recommendation engines truly work and what groundbreaking ethical research is being done to fix their most dangerous flaws. This is your chance to move beyond the headlines and understand the code that controls your daily life. Why You Should Care: If you use a smartphone, a streaming service, or social media, this Townhall is about you. Don't miss this opportunity to understand the mechanics of your digital world and empower yourself to demand fairer, more ethical technology. https://lnkd.in/gJGJg5Q6 TUM Think Tank Hochschule für Politik München Institute for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at University of Exeter University of Exeter Global Partnerships Exeter Innovation Sabina Leonelli Suchith Anand Rahel Roloff Philip Pfaller Markus B.
