What will happen in your session?

In June 2018 UK Government announced we are developing a National Data Strategy to unlock the power of data in the UK economy and government, while building public confidence in its use. The UK has a strong record on data and this move will build on the UK Digital Strategy, Digital Charter, Industrial Strategy and Grand Challenges to break new ground on data. True to the principles of our Digital Charter, we are creating the strategy in an open and participative way, in dialogue with citizens, civil society, academic experts and business. This session will be a conversation about the aims of the strategy and what you want to see from UK Government.

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

An open conversation about the aims of the strategy and what you want to see from UK Government, which will help us develop the National Data Strategy.

If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.

No GitHub IDs in the issue - emailing facilitators.

I'm one of the Openness wranglers team. We're still in the process of reviewing sessions, and we were wondering - this sessions sounds important and interesting for UK-based people. What would you do to make this interesting if a lot of non-UK based people turned up, though?

P.S. If you have a GitHub ID, it would be great if you could update this issue directly: https://github.com/MozillaFestival/mozfest-program-2018/issues/540 - if not, no worries - but bear in mind I'll probably be pasting any responses into the public GitHub issue tracker. Thanks!

From Sarah:

No problem with this -

Although the session is focused on the National UK Strategy, looking at international activity and priorities will be an important strand of the strategy development. This means perspectives from beyond the UK are hugely valuable and we will focus on international approaches for inspiration.
