This free, in-person event will take place on Thursday 4 December in St Paul's, London, bringing together researchers, data owners, government representatives, and policy makers to celebrate and share research excellence. It also aims to raise awareness of how the ONS’s wealth of data can be accessed and used through platforms such as the Secure Research Service.
