ABOUT the RSE Life in Data Research Network

The RSE Life in Data Network is a collaborative project funded through 
generous support by the Royal Society of Edinburgh. We facilitate 
knowledge exchange amongst Scottish HEIs, SCIs, public and third sector 
partners, to explore the emergent field of data literacy, openness, 
education policy and creative data innovation in Scotland.

At its inception in January 2017, the Network set out to meet a number 
of objectives, chief among these being to map

•             how data literacy is currently understood & how 
understandings can shift depending on context;

•             the extent to which data literacy is fostered in the 
education sector in Scotland, and in the skills development sector for 
creative industries;

•             what it means for local governance, education policy and 
lifelong learning; and

•             what the best ways are to encourage the development of 
creative and inclusive Scottish data community.

This conference sets out to reintroduce the original objectives of the 
Network in the context of these international developments, and we have 
invited colleagues from international partner universities to present 
research on the power of data literacy, the concept of Open, and what 
this means for various kinds of knowledge-building communities.

Presentation themes include: Ethics and Politics of Open Data; Working 
with Open Data; Open Learning and Open Energy; State-of-the-Art Data 
Journalism in China; Practices of Data Journalism in Vietnam; and Wikis 
as Knowledge-Building Communities.
