Lanzamiento del Festival de Datos 2023
Fecha: Lunes 21-11-22
Por la presente tenemos el agrado de convocarlos al Lanzamiento del Festival de Datos 2023.
As the deadline for delivering on the Sustainable Development Goals looms, and as we work to address a devastating set of intersecting climate, health and economic crises, there is an urgent need to reimagine the relationship between data, power, and development.
Hoy la Vicepresidenta de la República Oriental del Uruguay, Beatriz Argimón Cedeira, anunció que el Festival de Datos global tendrá lugar en Uruguay en 2023.
The Festival de Datos will be the second in-person festival hosted by the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data, with 400 delegates expected in person and 200 participating remotely. It comes at a critical juncture for our community. As we face global economic, climate, energy and health challenges, this convening is an exciting chance to exchange ideas and drive action with change makers and innovators from our network of 650 partner organizations across 40 countries around the world.
Today the Data Values Project published the #DataValues Manifesto and launched the first global campaign calling for placing people’s interests at the heart of data for development.
This is the result of a year of public consultation where the Data Values Project asked people what changes were needed to create fair data systems around the world. More than 300 people from at least 60 countries responded overwhelmingly that there’s an urgent need to address power imbalances that often lead to people being harmed, excluded, and disempowered by data.
