NERC: Natural Environment Research Council’s Post

NERC digital gathering 2024 NERC Digital Gathering 2024 will bring together our research community to highlight the increasing role of digital technologies in environmental research. This includes spotlighting the outcomes from NERC-funded research, the ongoing work of the Environmental Data Service and NERC’s data centres. We will also hear from experts in other digital fields and industry leaders, including IBM and Microsoft. More details to follow shortly but in the meantime hold these dates in your diary! The event is free to attend for all registered participants. https://buff.ly/4bWleYg #funding #investing #fintech #technology #sustainability #growth #cybersecurity #environment #food #automation #automotive #recycling #nutrition #medicine #robotics #farming #augmentedreality #neuroscience #grants #ukgrants #startupgrants #businessgrants #ukgovernmentgrant #sme #smegrant #businessfunding #smefunding #technologygrant #innovationgrant #capti #captiinnovation #gamechanging #gamechanginginnovation #disruptiveinnovation #smartgrant #ai #manufacturing #sustainable #innovation #telecoms #semiconductors #business #IUK #InnovateUK #SmartGrant #InnovateUKfunding

Sharing data openly has proven to be difficult within the realm of research. I'm pleased to announce our latest publication, which discusses the hurdles and possibilities associated with implementing FAIR principles. https://lnkd.in/gN3wCDtf

🌐 Exciting Developments in Government Data for Sustainable Development! 🌱📊 In the era of unprecedented data generation, our paper sheds light on the pivotal role Governments play in fostering innovation, transparency, and accountability. 🚀 🔗 Title: "Unlocking the Potential: Governments as Catalysts for Sustainable Development through Open Data" 🌐💡 Key Takeaways: Governments are pivotal in opening up data for innovation, transparency, and accountability. A collaborative effort is needed to establish a guiding framework for open government data. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are intrinsically connected to the responsible use of data. Accessible government data advances the SDGs and fosters a fair and sustainable future. Let's ignite a dialogue on the transformative potential of open government data! 💬🌍 Together, we can build a future where data becomes a force for positive change.

How can data be leveraged for development? A new report drafted by UNCTAD provides a comprehensive overview of the multitude of policy challenges. I was able to provide input and could attend the United Nations Commission on Science and Technology for Development meeting in Lisbon today. Two issues stand out to me. Data access: Micro-level public administration data is important for research and informed decision-making. Policy needs to balance privacy and societal benefits. Investment in data literacy: Basic statistics needs to be taught as early as primary school. To unlock the benefits of data for society, every student needs to have a solid understanding of causality. Thanks Dmitry Plekhanov for the kind invitation and smooth organization.

Thank you for help us to achieved this milestone in the academic area. More about our research: ACM Journal of Data and Information Quality (JDIQ) Stuart Madnick If the mantra “data is the new oil” of our digital economy is correct, then data leak incidents are the critical disasters in the online society. The initial goal of our research was to present a comprehensive database of data breaches of personal information that took place in 2018 and 2019. This information was to be drawn from press reports, industry studies, and reports from regulatory agencies across the world. This article identified the top 430 largest data breach incidents among more than 10,000 data breach incidents. In the process, we encountered many complications, especially regarding the lack of standardization of reporting. This article should be especially interesting to the readers of JDIQ because it describes both the range of data quality and consistency issues found as well as what was learned from the database created. The database that was created, available at https://lnkd.in/gijYaQJ, shows that the number of data records breached in those top 430 incidents increased from around 4B in 2018 to more than 22B in 2019. This increase occurred despite the strong efforts from regulatory agencies across the world to enforce strict rules on data protection and privacy, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that went into effect in Europe in May 2018. Such regulatory effort could explain the reason why there is such a large number of data breach cases reported in the European Union when compared to the U.S. (more than 10,000 data breaches publicly reported in the U.S. since 2018, while the EU reported more than 160,000 ¹ data breaches since May 2018). However, we still face the problem of an
