Research Integrity Week: N/LAB and the Ethics of using Big Data for Social Good
Duration 1 hour 30 minutes
Team Researcher Academy

This webinar forms part of the Research Integrity Week

Target Audience:
 Postgraduate Researchers, ECRs and Staff

Description: 

The N-Lab at the University of Nottingham Business School is a centre of excellence in behavioural analytics. They use Big Data, Machine Learning and Consumer Theory to investigate mass datasets, targeting social good and to support interventions and policy decision making.

N/LAB’s research derives novel forms of demographic intelligence, generated from digital footprint data streams, working directly with impact partners from NGOs and local government to take research to impact, in fields ranging from poverty alleviation to perinatal mortality.

The team will share their experience in dealing with both ethical and legal concerns faced by their research.  The session will address issues such as informed consents, transparency, biases in research inputs and outputs, and mitigations.
