It’s that time of year again! February 13-17 is International Love Data Week #LoveData23. This year’s events will be framed around the theme of ‘data as an agent of change’ and will be dedicated to inspiring communities to use data to bring about changes that matter.
One of our main aims at the UK Data Service is to help new and experienced data users find the training and resources they need to make a difference. Over the coming months, we’ll be delivering a wide range of free online training sessions to improve your data knowledge and skills. Please register below to attend or contact us to find out more! All events can also be accessed via our YouTube channel.
