Let’s discuss the future of data, statistics and society
New data sources and data science methods open up substantial opportunities for research and for improving statistics. However, the integration of traditional and newer methods requires more than the merging of methodology and technology.
In this workshop, you will discuss the differences between data driven and question driven approaches. We will explore in which places of society data plays an important role and how it is regulated. By this, we will expand on the triangle of data, facts, and policy. Let’s discuss the future of data and society!
We aim for a broad discussion and invite students, researchers & official statisticians alike to join the discourse.
