[Responsible-digital-futures] Shaping the Future of Data Ethics: EDI Town Hall 2025

[Suchith Anand]

Dear colleagues,


On the 31st of March 2025, EDI affiliates, data ethics experts from around
the world, as well as some of the EDI’s key stakeholders gathered at the TUM
Think Tank <https://tumthinktank.de/de/startseite> in Munich for the EDI
Townhall. The summary from the EDI multi-stakeholder town hall meeting
titled “Shaping the Future of Data Ethics” is at

During the EDI Townhall meeting in Munich on 31 March 2025,  we remembered
the contributions of Professor Fraser Taylor (1937-2025)
https://gcrc.carleton.ca/index.html   to the data ethics community. Prof.
Taylor was a key contributor to the GEO Data Ethics SG and was one of the
key initiators of the International Science Council CODATA Data Ethics WG
and contributed immensely to our community.  At the EDI Townhall 2025
meeting, an important and sentimental minute of silence was called for in
grace of remembering the late and great Professor Fraser Taylor’s
contributions to the Data Ethics community. This touching moment offered a
reminder to remember those who came before, and the tireless dedication it
takes to keep conversations of ethics at the forefront of policy and
academic discussions.


Presentations and the programme for the EDI townhall meeting are available
on zenodo at https://zenodo.org/records/15174049


Best wishes


Suchith
