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 presentation will also share information about the Campaign for Data Ethics in Education. The Campaign advocates for the integration of data ethics in all higher education courses focused on data science and research.
