Great idea Fraser.  Thank you.


Prof. Johannes John-Langba (University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa) who serves as the co-chair of the CODATA Working Group on Data Ethics is one of the speakers for the webinar.


I will share the webinar and discussion invite with all members of the CODATA Working Group on Data Ethics. In fact, many of the discussion topics of the webinar will be useful for the CODATA Working Group on Data Ethics.


Best wishes


Suchith

Dear Suchith

It would be worth contacting Dr Tshiamo Motshegwa (T.Motshegwa at nrf.ac.za<mailto:T.Motshegwa at nrf.ac.za>), Director of the African Open Science Platform (AOSP), suggesting a conversation, as there my be productive synergies in ethical data issues. It would at least be good if the two organisations were aware of each other's existence. The AOSP is currently setting up regional centres for five major areas of Africa. I will forward your note to Tshiamo.

All good wishes

Geoffrey

Dear colleagues

We are living in a digitally transformed society. Data drives problem solving and better decision making. While the digital revolution has transformed the way we live, solving many issues; it has also given rise to numerous questions and challenges which affect everyone. What governance policies and frameworks are needed to make sure digital technologies and opportunities are available for everyone and there are no monopolies created? How do we make sure there are proper governance mechanisms in place to embed values in all data ecosystems?

The Ethical Data Initiative provides a neutral space to bring together diverse actors and stakeholders, shaping the future of data governance. In doing so, we aim to increase equality and inclusivity in the data space; building data confidence and empowering the digital citizens of tomorrow.

The Ethical Data Initiative is working with a consortium of over 20 universities in South East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda) to establish Ethical Data Research Centres in Universities in Africa to build capacity in Data Science and Data Ethics.
