[Geo4All] Expanding UK-Europe research collaborations

[Suchith Anand]

Dear colleagues

The Russell Group and other UK R&D leaders have written to the UK Prime Minister and President of the EU Commission to highlight the importance of research collaboration in the future relationship between the UK and EU.  As both sides seek a reset in EU-UK relations, the R&D community is encouraging both leaders to prioritise science and research collaboration’s vital role in setting the terms of the future relationship.Details at  https://www.russellgroup.ac.uk/news/rd-sector-issues-joint-call-research-be-agenda-uk-eu-talks

The Ethical Data Initiative (EDI) is an excellent example of joint collaboration between a Russell Group university in the UK (University of Exeter) and the top university in Germany (Technical University of Munich) to co-lead a global initiative. The Ethical Data Initiative is jointly coordinated by the University of Exeter <https://www.exeter.ac.uk/> and the TUM Think Tank <https://tumthinktank.de/>. EDI is a non-partisan platform fostering open discussions on data ethics, informed significantly by philosophical, historical, and social studies of science, with a focus on equity and engagement across different domains of data work for public interest. 

We would like to invite you to participate in the Ethical Data Initiative's annual Townhall meeting taking place in Munich on 31 March, 2025. The event is an opportunity to meet the community, get involved in our work and help shape our priorities. You can find out more or register to participate remotely here: Ethical Data Initiative Annual Townhall Event <https://ethicaldatainitiative.org/2024/12/20/ethical-data-initiative-annual-townhall-event/>

Our list of open access community resources is up online. Let us know if you would like to add to it: Resources - The Ethical Data Initiative <https://ethicaldatainitiative.org/resources/>

Find out more about how you can get involved in the Ethical Data Initiative's activities here: Join Networks - The Ethical Data Initiative <https://ethicaldatainitiative.org/join-community/>

Looking forward to expanding UK-Europe research collaborations.

Best wishes
