Curious - The secret world of data
Data is all around us. So, what is really being done with it? Who can use it and why? And how can it help people?
About Curious - The secret world of data
Speaker: Professor Susan McVie, Dr Michelle Jamieson, Jan Savinc
Organisation: Scottish Centre for Administrative Data Research
Data is all around us. How our data is used, by whom and for whose benefit is a major topic of discussion.
So, what is really being done with it? Who can use it and why? And how can it help people?
This event will unpack how public sector data is being used securely for research and explore how linking different types of data can provide insights that benefit society.
From end-of-life care to Covid fines, we will discuss how researchers use data to understand the world better and improve public services, and how data is protected, and people’s identities are kept safe.
