In today’s world of complex social and economic challenges, data-driven research is a powerful tool for understanding issues and shaping solutions.
But turning research into real-world impact takes more than evidence.
Success requires tailored communication and creative engagement strategies. As a participant in this free UK Data Service event, you will engage with a range of organisations and individuals using data to make a difference, including:
- NHS professionals improving services through evidence-based decisions.
- Royal British Legion representatives using data to influence policy and shape support for the armed forces community.
- Resolve Poverty policy officers applying data insights to tackle inequality and inform local action.
- Academics with proven impact who are successfully translating research into policy and practice.
- UK Data Service Data Impact Fellows (past and present), who want to share the opportunities and challenges they have encountered on their research journeys.
