What's on offer?

Curious about how administrative data is used? This public event aims to explore administrative data and set out how it can benefit the wider population in Northern Ireland.

Join us for a trio of talks that will dive into this subject. An administrative data researcher will help us understand what administrative data is, how it’s used, and how your privacy is protected.

What's it about?

Learn from multiple stakeholder organisations in a video created for the event, and get live information from someone with the lived experience of being a carer in Northern Ireland.

Discover how the third sector uses administrative data to help the public and explore what the future holds for academic collaboration and administrative data use.

This collaborative event will also feature an open panel at the end for audience questions.
