Professor Mark Birkin will take part in this Westminster eForum on Big Data.
With the growing role of Big Data across public and private organisations, this timely seminar will examine the potential commercial and public service opportunities of data analytics, as well as key challenges.
It takes place as the European Commission seeks to drive economic growth across industry through their Public-Private Partnership scheme and as the EU discusses the future of data protection legislation.
Delegates will discuss the implications for citizens and consumers, and for public sector organisations, businesses and researcher institutions, including setting the balance between privacy concerns and the potential economic and societal benefits that big data analytics could bring – and the practical technical, skills, accessibility and legal challenges that need to be addressed.
We are delighted that Stuart Campbell, Secretary-General, Big Data Value Association; Dr Shahid Hanif, Head of Health Data & Outcomes, Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI); Jason Nathan, Group Managing Director, dunnhumby; Dr Matt Stroud, Head of Personal Data & Trust, Digital Catapult; Steve Wood, Head of Policy Delivery, Information Commissioner’s Office and a speaker from YouGov have agreed to deliver keynote addresses at this seminar.
