We're delighted Rachel Bruce (UKRI and DORA Steering Committee) joined the @edinitiative.bsky.social Forum today to explore an important question:"Why research commons and for whom? The governance of data sharing." Connecting research assessment to #data governance, #equity, and the research commons

Presentation slide from the Ethical Data Initiative Stakeholder Forum. The slide title of the presentation read: “Why research commons and for whom? The governance of data sharing.” It features Rachel Bruce, Head of Open Research at UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and a member of the DORA Steering Committee, as the speaker for the October 2026 forum.
