Institute of Data Science
Vast amounts of data being generated across all segments of society. If taken advantage of, these data offer an unprecedented opportunity to accelerate scientific discovery, to improve healthcare and wellbeing, and to strengthen our communities. Data Science is an interdisciplinary field concerning the scientific methods, systems and workflows to obtain insights from data.
Data Science has the potential to affect all aspects of human activity. We embrace this development and are preparing a new generation of data scientists, scholars and entrepreneurs who work in a collaborative manner to tackle the world’s most pressing problems.

This afternoon, Michel Dumontier and David Townend participate in the VALUE-LESS Data symposium that is held at the Faculty of Law (Bouillonstraat). Michel is a panel member in panel 1, which discusses Trust in Data. David is in panel 2, that discusses Morality and Ethics in Data.
As humanity becomes increasingly data dependable, it is necessary to make sure that the data it stands on reflect the values inherent to a fair, ethical, and economically sound society. If so, data can be used as a tool for inclusion, for closing inequality gaps, and for building a more balanced society.This values-centric symposium aims to bring together experts from data science, ethics, economics and law to create a White Paper establishing basic principles for the use of data in the data economy.
