Data and Society

Nowadays the amounts of data generated presents unique opportunities in research and technological innovations. This also raises a range of challenges, including data standards, analysis and visualization, as well as ethical considerations such as data protection, privacy and ownership.

In this symposium we want to explore the increasing role that data plays in our lives. The event will explore research and technological innovations that involve data and the society.

The event is hosted by the UiO:Life Science convergence environment: Organ on a chip and the Hybrid Technology Hub-Centre for Organ on a Chip Technology

Target audience: all convergence environments, and researchers without a strong background in data handling/analysis/visualization, and the increasing intrusive role that data play in our lives in the 21st century, these topics will also have a broader interest to the general public.
