[OSGeo-Discuss] The Importance of Data Ethics in Research and Education

[Suchith Anand via Discuss]

Dear colleagues


We are living in a digitally transformed society. Data drives problem solving 
and better decision making. While the digital revolution has transformed the 
way we live, solving many issues; it has also given rise to numerous questions 
and challenges which affect everyone. What governance policies and frameworks 
are needed to make sure digital technologies and opportunities are available 
for everyone and there are no monopolies created? How do we make sure there are 
proper governance mechanisms in place to embed values in all data ecosystems?


The Ethical Data Initiative provides a neutral space to bring together diverse 
actors and stakeholders, shaping the future of data governance. In doing so, we 
aim to increase equality and inclusivity in the data space; building data 
confidence and empowering the digital citizens of tomorrow.


We are looking into key research questions on


  *   Do questions of data ethics and data privacy affect all of us?
  *   Who owns the data? Who benefits from my data?

  *   With data capitalism becoming an increasingly recognised concept, how do 
we avoid the pitfalls of feudalism and colonialism in this new landscape?

  *   How can we protect human rights in the digital platform economy?

  *   With the increase in data intensive research, and focus on data law and 
ethics in general, do you think it is time that data ethics should become an 
integral part of the education curriculum in schools and universities? Why?

  *   How can we build capacity for Data Ethics in universities and industry?



The Ethical Data Initiative and the African 
Institute of Capacity Development (AICAD), hosted a 
Webinar exploring The Importance of Data Ethics in Research and Education.
