| Speaker | Dr. Steve MacFeely | Switzerland | Our changing data world - the importance of data governance | This talk will provide the broader context for the session, describing our changing data world, and describing some of the key developments within the world of official statistics, and the growing realisation that data governance and data stewardship are critically important |
| Speaker | Dr. Angela Me | Austria | How the UN can contribute to International data governance | This talk will outline how the UN has begun to prepare for what can tentatively be called a Global Data Compact, and some the challenges and steps involved in this exciting and ground breaking work. |
| Speaker | Dr. Martine Durand | France | Partnerships towards a new global data governance system | Data has become a global commodity that is produced, shared and traded by a myriad of actors worldwide. All players in this new data ecosystem do not necessarily have the same approach to the notions of independence, integrity, quality, transparency or privacy that form the core values of Official Statistics. This raises questions regarding the need for new mechanisms, regulations and frameworks aiming at promoting universally-agreed ethical principles and standards; clarifying the respective roles and responsibilities of the different actors; monitoring compliance; and strengthening accountability. Official Statistics must engage and build partnerships towards a new global data governance system. |
