The Ethical Data Initiative (EDI) is evolving its stakeholder engagement by transitioning its annual Townhall Events to a new biannual format. The new schedule will feature a larger in-person event in the Spring and a virtual Townhall Workshop in the Autumn, providing more frequent and accessible opportunities for its global community to connect and collaborate.
The EDI is a non-partisan platform coordinated by the University of Exeter and the TUM Think Tank at the Technical University of Munich, dedicated to advancing data ethics in a world increasingly shaped by data. The initiative’s core mission is to foster open and inclusive discussions on responsible data governance. It aims to increase data literacy and promote a more human-centric approach to how data is collected, used, and shared, with a focus on addressing issues such as social inequity, misinformation, and privacy.
