The GovLab's Stefaan Verhulst opens the panel with an introduction to the panel and town hall.

Noting that the #COVID19 pandemic has had enormous human, economic, and social costs, he describes the potential of #data reuse to help decisionmakers, so long as used responsibly Image
The Data Assembly "is an attempt to pioneer a new methodology [...] to try and understand what are expectations and concerns and proposals about how data should be used" around COVID-19 and other crises. Image

We’ve just started our workshop on Contracts for Data Collaboration (#C4DC)! We open with a note about the need to identify the enabling conditions essential to #datacollaboration and build a community around it.
.@sverhulst explains The GovLab’s interest in this topic, which stemmed from its #DataStewards Camps. In those events, data stewards repeatedly noted that contracts were one of their biggest barriers to data collaboration.
He continues by noting this meeting is not about sharing what we think is the best solution but to optimize what we have for the demand that is out there from a diverse group of stakeholders.

Figuring out how to maximize value is essential for doing good.

David Belt, Co-Founder of NewLab, opens the Public Showcase. “One of the things that make me love New York [...] is that no matter how audacious the idea, no matter how steep the climb, there is always support for innovative ideas.”
Shaina Horowitz, NewLab: “For us, the Circular City renders a new way of making a city smart [...] where we can use technology to meet real needs and not just use tech for tech’s sake.“
The Circular City was about how we could create a platform for all these different stakeholders to come together [...] because that’s really what’s needed for innovation.
