About this podcast series
In this series, we’ll hear from private sector organisations that are opening access to data, and from the researchers and analysts who are using it. We’ll provide a ‘toolkit’ of helpful tips for organisations starting their data access journey, and for those wanting to use private sector data in their research and social impact activities.
What is the Industry Data for Society Partnership?
The Industry Data for Society Partnership (IDSP) calls on private industry organizations to open and provide greater access to data, where appropriate, to help address some of the world’s biggest societal issues. The partnership is focused on advancing real-world impact from more open data and we believe it will make a significant contribution to accelerating solutions to challenges facing society.
