[Geo4All] Responsible Data Sharing

[Suchith Anand]

Dear colleagues,

This information which might be of interest.

UKRI are welcoming stakeholder feedback on a draft version of the UKRI research data policy. This draft includes proposed common principles and requirements for research data and metadata.  

Responsible Data Sharing is part of the draft policy. This is excellent news for EDI’s work and mission.

The UKRI draft research data policy, information about its development and how to provide feedback to UKRI are at https://engagementhub.ukri.org/ukri-openresearch/developing-ukris-research-data-policy/ 

EDI will also be responding to this consultation highlighting the need to educate the next generation of data and research professionals about their legal and ethical obligations when it comes to using, reusing, and sharing data. Research Funders need to provide funding to universities for data ethics training as part of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) in all research projects.

EDI will be expanding our Campaign for Data Ethics in Education. With over 450 universities already supporting our campaign through the Association of African Universities, this is creating huge momentum for EDI's work and impact globally.  The Campaign advocates for the integration of data ethics in all higher education courses focused on data science and research.
