Bürger, gebt uns Eure Probleme! Open Data, ohne sie weiterzugeben.

The increasing digitization of all aspects of human life has led to an avalanche of data that is collected, stored and processed. Analyzing this data would certainly promote a better understanding of society and help tackle some of the world’s most pressing societal challenges. Unfortunately, most of this data wealth is locked away in the data silos of public and private institutions and simply not accessible. How can we make this data usable for scientific purposes and for the general good of the society and still take legal, ethical, economic or organizational challenges and legitimate interest of all stakeholders into account?

We need your help! What societal problem do you think could be solved if only more data would be available? Where would we need to take it from and how?

Join us for a workshop, where we will be working in teams to find the most creative problem with the most straightforward solution.

The experts give input on technical, ethical and governance problems associated with data analyses on data locked away in the data silos of public and private institutions or collected by personal devices. We then work in teams to find the most creative problem with the most straightforward solution.

You’ll learn more about legal, ethical and technical issues surrounding open data, while helping us to refine our research agenda on Data & Society Interface.
