Abstract

The public sector gathers large amounts of data about us as we interact with the government in our daily lives and use its services. What happens to this data once it is collected? How is this data used and governed? Who benefits from it? Post-Brexit, how is Scotland addressing these issues and how does that compare to the rest of the UK and to developments in the European Union (EU) and beyond?

These questions guided the Scottish Universities Insight Institute (SUII)-funded knowledge exchange programme we led in 2023-2024, bringing together academics, policymakers, industry and civil society representatives from Scotland, the EU and beyond to discuss what public data is, how it is governed and how it can be better used – or not – for economic, environmental and social development. Our final project is now published in English, French and Spanish.
