About US
DRAGoN (Data Research, Access, Governance Network) is an interdisciplinary research group aiming to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia, think-tanks, industry and government.
We recognise that effective data use and governance requires contributions from many different professions: ethicists, statisticians, computer scientists, psychologists, economists, management scientists… Our aim is to create an environment for discourse which can bring differing perspectives together for the wider benefit.
Data access, management and governance is a highly applied topic; decisions being made every day affect our lives, our business, our government, often in ways which are obscure or known only to specialist in that area. We see the application of theory to practice as essential to ethos of the group.
But we also need to reflect on practice: decisions about data use are often highly political, based on psychological or institutional factors. Working with practitioners helps inform our research with operational insights, as well as allowing us to challenge accepted viewpoints.
If interested in joining the group, or simply wanting to make contact or find out more about the group, please use the contact form.
