Announcing An Open Call On Community Engagement In Data Science Research In Africa

The open call is being organized by the REDSSA (Research for Ethical Data Science in sub-Saharan Africa) group, with the goal to identify stakeholder-driven ways to increase community engagement on data science in health research in Africa. The organizers are seeking creative ideas for how to raise awareness among communities that sensitive individual health and location information is being collected and shared as part of large, anonymized data sets for research.
