The Data Impact Fellows programme is designed to support the use of UK Data Service data and resources by new generations of researchers and analysts working in the academic sector and in UK registered charities.
This year’s applications for the the Data Impact hong kong rcs data Fellows programme were of extremely high quality, making the judges‘ job extremely difficult.
We are delighted to introduce to the five awardees that make up our new cohort! We’ll be hearing more from each of the Fellows over the year, in this post they give a brief introduction to themselves and their research.
It would be remiss of me to look back over the period and ignore the momentous effects the Covid-19 pandemic had on us all. Two posts I’ve selected from the period are Visualising high risk areas for Covid-19 mortality and Covid-19: Social surveys are now more important than ever. We continue to add posts around research and issues that have arisen from Covid.
UK Census
We have a whole series of posts around the censuses undertaken in the UK during 2021 and 2022 and their outputs as they are released. One of my favourite blog post titles ever is Census 2021 Outputs: Hiding an elephant amongst all the hippopotamuses. Professor David Martin, formerly one of the UK Data service’s deputy directors, wrote a fascinating piece on the possible future of UK censuses.
