When high-quality, relevant and trustworthy data is sourced, made accessible and re-used responsibly, it can help all of us to make better informed decisions. At a time when our planet faces complex challenges such as climate change, social inequality, economic disruption, it’s vital that we make the most of this data. That’s why The Data Tank exists, collaborating with you to turn that vision into reality.
We’re redefining the role of Data Stewards. They will take the lead in identifying the challenges that data can help to solve – and do it in a responsible way, so that data reuse and sharing become a valued part of everyday life. Read on to find out more about our training and development programs.
To reuse and share data routinely, we need to build trust between data givers and receivers. A Social License, which legitimizes the principle of freeing up data for the common good, will create participatory frameworks in which to do this. Read on if you’d like to collaborate with us on this work.
We are home to an energetic online community. It brings together anyone who shares our vision to unlock data’s potential for public benefit, and is doing practical or theoretical work in this field. By pooling our ideas and adopting best practice, we can all move faster towards our common goal. Join us now.
