> About the Webinar
>  
> This webinar session aims to provide participants with the tools to share information needs and align these with available data and appropriate methods of information presentation.
>  
> There is enormous potential societal benefit to be realised from the reuse of data collections and redeployment of analytical work. A key cause of friction – and lack of adoption – is the inaccessibility of data and associated academic outputs. Their adaptation to better reflect the needs and competencies of government information consumers is critical. This means identifying key indicators, aligned with relevant data sources and presented attractively, intuitively and in terms that can be understood.
>  
> Who should attend
>  
> The session is aimed at i) researchers and data scientists with responsibilities for producing, collecting, or curating data that have the potential for wider impact in supporting policy or operational development within government organisations, as well as ii) representatives of those government organisations.
>  
> It will be especially useful for those tasked with increasing or facilitating reuse, and where inaccessibility of those data accounts at least in part for their lack of adoption, and for those government practitioners convinced of the potential value of engaging with academia around data and evidence, but unable to do so for the same reason.
>  
> What you will learn
>  
> Following the completion of this webinar attendees will be able to :
>  
> Describe how government organisations use and would like to use data
> Collect and describe the information needs of priority audiences
> Align identified needs with available data and appropriate means of representation
> Describe the characteristics of dashboards that enhance their value, including aesthetic qualities, accessibility features and interactivity, and be more informed selecting implementations and allocating resources
> Describe key governance considerations such as privacy and licensing
>  
> Register and more information
