THE ROYAL IRISH ACADEMY IS IRELAND'S LEADING BODY OF EXPERTS IN THE SCIENCES AND HUMANITIES

The Royal Irish Academy/Acadamh Ríoga na hÉireann champions research. We identify and recognise Ireland’s world class researchers. We support scholarship and promote awareness of how science and the humanities enrich our lives and benefit society. We believe that good research needs to be promoted, sustained and communicated. The Academy is run by a Council of its members. Membership is by election and considered the highest academic honour in Ireland.

Questions of data protection, privacy, surveillance, as well as the positive aspects of data sharing and integration will be discussed.  New technologies have also led to a massive increase in the amount of data being produced by public bodies.  This data is valuable and can be used to transform the way services are planned, delivered and managed.  Open Data is about making data held by public bodies available and easily accessible online for reuse, redistribution and analysis.  The idea of ‘Algorithmic Government’ that this promises, will be assessed and some of the challenging issues will be reviewed.

The Chatham House Rule will apply to all the conversations in this series.

Two bursaries of €50.00 each are available to post-graduate students. To make an application for a bursary contact Andrew Power at andrew.power@iadt.ie Include a CV and up to 500 words outlining your reasons for wishing to attend the conversation, and how your attendance would assist with your studies.
