[Responsible-digital-futures] Expanding UK-Europe research collaborations

[Suchith Anand]

Dear colleagues


The Russell Group and other UK R&D leaders have written to the UK Prime
Minister and President of the EU Commission to highlight the importance of
research collaboration in the future relationship between the UK and EU.  As
both sides seek a reset in EU-UK relations, the R&D community is
encouraging both leaders to prioritise science and research collaboration’s
vital role in setting the terms of the future relationship.Details at

The Ethical Data Initiative (EDI) is an excellent example of joint
collaboration between a Russell Group university in the UK (University of
Exeter) and the top university in Germany (Technical University of Munich)
to co-lead a global initiative. The Ethical Data Initiative is jointly
coordinated by the University of Exeter <https://www.exeter.ac.uk/> and the TUM
Think Tank <https://tumthinktank.de/>. EDI is a non-partisan platform
fostering open discussions on data ethics, informed significantly by
philosophical, historical, and social studies of science, with a focus on
equity and engagement across different domains of data work for public
interest.


We would like to invite you to participate in the Ethical Data Initiative's
annual Townhall meeting taking place in Munich on 31 March, 2025. The event
is an opportunity to meet the community, get involved in our work and help
shape our priorities. You can find out more or register to participate
remotely here: Ethical Data Initiative Annual Townhall Event

Our list of open access community resources is up online. Let us know if
you would like to add to it: Resources - The Ethical Data Initiative

Initiative's activities here: Join Networks - The Ethical Data Initiative

Looking forward to expanding UK-Europe research collaborations.


Best wishes
