Launch Event Data Autonomy: Let's do it!

From awareness to action

Join us for the exciting launch event of the Data Autonomy project on 22 June and be part of an enaging discussion on data autonomy in academia, a collaborative event between the Center for Information Technology and the Jantina Tammes School of Digital Society, Technology and AI.

In today's data-driven world, understanding how big corporations use our data is essential. The event will shed light on the importance of data autonomy and its implications for academia. Join us as we explore the challenges and opportunities associated with data autonomy, specifically within our university.
