Research Data Scotland Showcase Webinar
Date: 02/10/2024 to 02/10/2015 Venue: Online, Microsoft Teams
Want to find out how Research Data Scotland (RDS) is making it faster and simpler to do research that can improve lives?
On Wednesday 2 October (14:00 to 15:30), join the public-friendly showcase webinar to learn more about their work and how to get involved, and to ask questions.
This session is designed to be welcoming and approachable for everyone, so whether you’re a seasoned researcher or you’ve never interacted with data science before, everybody is invited.
The showcase will explore some of the key areas RDS has been working on over the last few months including:
- The Researcher Access Service. Launched in April this year, the Researcher Access Service is a digital service that makes it quicker and simpler for approved researchers to access public sector data for research
- Synthetic data. Synthetic data is artificial data that contains no information about real people, but follows some of the same patterns as real-world data
- Public engagement. In August, RDS announced the return of the Public Engagement Fund, supporting projects that improve public understanding of the use of data in research
