Who does open research benefit? Contextualizing the usefulness and risks of open qualitative research in development and public health

Activity: Talk or presentationInvited talkProfessional

Description

Who are the stakeholders and dynamics that influence the generation, distribution and uptake of open research and open qualitative data and to what extent do these support development and healthcare efforts in communities around the globe?

There is broad agreement that openness of research data helps both with the quality of research but also with research sustainability, as local communities on the ground can experience research fatigue and are ever more aware of privacy risks. The research data ecosystem and communities of practice surrounding open research data are developing at great speed and it is useful to take stock of who these are and how these contribute to the mission and ethics of research.

Arul Chib (ISS), Roland Bal (ESHPM), and Katherine Reilly (SFU) will critically discuss the value and role of open research and open ethnographic data for communities and other stakeholders involved in facilitating data streams within public health and development work.
This event is a part of the Open and Responsible Science Campaign at EUR.
