Introducing: the Good Data Assembly
We are delighted to share the launch of an important joint initiative that has been cooking behind the scenes for several months now: the Good Data Assembly!
Select GDI members have been working together with the Global Shapers’ Cambridge Hub to develop a virtual iteration of a classic Citizens’ Assembly. This new format is being tested as a way to broaden access, both geographically and among generations, to debates and knowledge around important issues within this arena.
Two GDA events have been scheduled for this upcoming year: in February and October 2022.
GDI Review 03 Launch: Digital Oceans: Unlocking Ocean Data
We’re delighted to share the publication of our new GDI Review 03: Digital Oceans: Unlocking Ocean Data!
In this review, members of the GDI team dove deep to identify the crucial gaps in ocean data preventing the accurate assessment and understanding of marine ecosystems and human impacts on them. By analyzing key stakeholders and selected case studies, this study identifies the importance of mobilizing inter-sectoral collaboration in generating, unlocking, and providing open access to ocean data — enabling us to better understand the essential role that oceans play not only in our daily lives, but in tackling the climate and biodiversity crises our planet faces.

Upcoming GDI Reviews: Late 2021
We’re thrilled to share that our GDI team has been working hard this past year on several upcoming GDI Reviews which will be published during late summer and fall 2021. These reviews tackle important questions ranging from analyzing the use of cutting-edge automated weapons system (AWS) technologies in war to understanding the roots of crucial gaps in oceanic data, as well as producing the first major report on a core direction of the future of work: that of the passion economy.
