This February our 2nd year Compass students will attend workshops in responsible innovation.
Run in partnership with the School of Management, the structured module constitutes Responsible Innovation training specifically for research in Data Science.
Taking the EPSRC AREA (Anticipate, Reflect, Engage, Act) framework for Responsible Innovation as it’s starting point, the module will take students through a guided process to develop the skills, knowledge and facilitated experience to incorporate the tenets of the AREA framework in to their PhD practice. Topics covered will include:
· Ethical and societal implications of data science and computational statistics
· Skills for anticipation
· Reflexivity for researchers
· Public perception of data science and engagement of publics
· Regulatory frameworks affecting data science
