Northern Data Debate III: ‘We have had enough of experts’

Northern Data Debate III: ‘We have had enough of experts’

“People in this country have had enough of experts”

These words, from Michael Gove, date to the time of the Brexit referendum but have continued to resonate in the intervening years. The pandemic response, in particular, has highlighted the wide range of challenges inherent to communication of science and public engagement in the 21st Century.

Panellists at the third Northern Data Debate will address fundamental and timely questions around public trust, the nature of “expertise”, and the potential perils – and vital importance – of science and public engagement.

Sponsored by the Alan Turing Institute, the National Innovation Centre for Data and Newcastle Data.

The compere for the evening will be Herb Kim, CEO Thinking Digital.
