H﻿is talk:Public data for public good: democratic accountability and the UK's data access ecosystem 
There is a wealth of public data available across different public domains that has significant potential to inform positive change within UK society and the economy. Good strides have been taken to improve access to these data for public good research, but significant challenges still exist which need to be addressed before the potential of public data in the UK is really harnessed. We have a responsibility to do better.

<h3></h3><h3>Workshops</h3>At Research Capability we look forward to offering four diverse and engaging workshops, run concurrently during the event. These enable delegates to learn more about and discuss pertinent topics, curated just for them.Workshop 1Give and Take: Community approaches for administrative data. Lead by Administrative Data Research UK (ADR UK)ADR UK's Training and Capacity Building strategy has identified a spectrum of learners and learning approaches to grow the use of administrative data. From raising awareness to focused and specific training, it identifies needs and opportunities across researcher levels and disciplines.But how can we bring users of administrative data together to develop support for each other, share learnings, and maximise efficiency? What’s the role of individuals to contribute? What structures and provision are needed?  This session will explore different models – existing and proposed – and get feedback from participants on where our focus and investment should be targeted.Workshop 2Census 2021: The journey from design to dissemination. Lead by the Census Processing and Census Statistical Design teamsUsing Census data could be compared to reading the last page of a novel – you know there is a happy ending but you understand what the characters went through to get there. In this session we will go through the whole 2021 Census covering:<ul><li>How we implemented the design in collection and processing</li><li>How we managed the impacts of the pandemic</li><li>How Census data will be made available.</li></ul>For each topic there will be a short presentation focusing on the main changes since 2011 and a chance for discussion.Workshop 3 (SOLD OUT)Integrated Data Service (IDS), the future of data. Lead by the SRS Data Curation and IDS Programme Engagement teams.In this workshop we will discuss data for research, including how it is curated, accessed and prioritised. Currently, data is accessible via the Secure Research Service however in future this will migrate to the Integrated Data Service. We will consider ‘what is the future of data for research’.Workshop 4Getting your research closer to policy. Lead by the IDS Impact team with invited policy experts.The session will provide the opportunity to contribute insight and experience around how to formulate and policy-relevant research projects using controlled data, understanding the audiences and the role of early collaboration. There will be an opportunity to discuss data needs, such as what linked administrative data resources would be most useful.You can now choose which session you would like to attend. If your chosen session is unavailable please choose the next desired. If you have already booked a ticket, you will contacted separately to select your chosen workshop.

<h3>Learn more about the Integrated Data Service </h3>Join us at Research Capability 2022 to learn more about the Integrated Data Service (IDS), a new government wide initiative, bringing together ready-to-use data to enable faster and wider collaborative analysis for the public good. We are pleased to showcase IDS developments to Research Capability 2022 delegates.
