The Data Cooperative Working Group is an informal, international group of practitioners, researchers and those interested in the development of data cooperatives and other mutually beneficial data governance structures to manage the data we all create.

It is an opportunity to share, learn and discuss topics related to mutual data governance and develop new thinking and ideas.

Over the past year we have seen a lot of great data cooperative and data stewardship initiatives being presented at the group, and this session will be a chance to reflect on the data stewardship models and the role of data cooperatives, especially in relation to their practicality and viability, as a bottom up data stewardship model.

More details will be published closer to the time, but if you have missed the previous sessions links to presentations can be found below:
