Data Science & Society Symposium

When:Th 29-06-2023 10:30 - 18:00
Where:The Beurs (Wirdumerdijk 34) Leeuwarden


Join the 1st Data Science & Society Symposium

During this symposium, societal and academic experts will discuss the current state of datafication in society.

Data Science is changing rapidly with the continuous emergence of new technological capabilities, enhanced methods to analyse, store and share data which stem from the ‘datafication’ process happening in society. These rapid and profound changes occurring in different scientific disciplines raise the question of how society could and should engage with the developments.

Our mission is to identify interdisciplinary approaches and solutions that enable society to reap the benefits of datafication, and use data to produce fair, just and sustainable outcomes that promote human dignity. 

This symposium also marks the end of the first year of the Data Science & Society bachelor programme at Campus Fryslân, University of Groningen.
