Starting now at #SharingDataBetter The Rise of Data Institutions...

🗣️ Keynote with Sir @Nigel_Shadbolt, the ODI's Executive Chair & Co-Founder, where he'll set out his vision for #datainstitutions in 2022

'Discussions around what defines data institutions continue, but we can be sure that we have landed upon an important building block of our data futures, and are beginning to see the social good that can come from data institutions'– @Nigel_Shadbolt #SharingDataBetter

'We have seen global progress in developing new approaches to stewarding data elsewhere - via ‘data intermediaries’ in the UK, the European Commission’s Data Governance Act and Personal Data Banks in Japan' – @Nigel_Shadbolt #SharingDataBetter

'We need more imagination, innovation, experimentation and reflection if we are to build new institutions fit for the data age, if we are to see data used equitably to address the pressing challenges of our time.' – @Nigel_Shadbolt #SharingDataBetter

'Just an hour ago, I had a meeting with @Ofwat to talk about what we can do to improve access to data on water safety and quality [...] to help them in their aims to clean up our waterways, alongside the water companies and @DefraGovUK' – @Nigel_Shadbolt #SharingDataBetter

‘It’s my pleasure to announce that the ODI is today committing to forming an institution for the Open Referral UK data standard, which provides a means of describing public and community services in a way that everyone understands’ – @Nigel_Shadbolt #SharingDataBetter

'Our ambition is to open up service data to enable efficient reuse for many purposes, to encourage incremental improvement, and to stimulate innovation'
