On 20th October 2017 the CDRC sponsored and supported the 14th annual Data Analysts User Group Conference (DUG), hosted at the Royal Society.
The conference focussed upon Data Sharing: New Challenges, Opportunities and Examples…
There were some great presentations and stimulating audience discussion over the course of the day around the conference’s key questions:
1. What important questions am I currently unable to answer satisfactorily?
2. Where might data reside, that could help address these challenges and what should I put in place to make progress?
Presentations
