Registration is now open for Love Data Week, February 10-14, 2025! For the fifth year in a row, the Johns Hopkins Libraries are hosting Love Data Week, an international celebration of data. Through a week-long series of online talks, panels, and workshops, we will explore the legal, ethical and technical dimensions of data ownership including the topics of AI & big data, community-centered research, and data licensing.
This year, we are honored to be partnering with the Data Science and AI Institute and the Berman Institute of Bioethics to bring these data-centric events to attendees of all backgrounds and experience levels. Events run from February 10th through February 14th, and the theme for 2025 is Whose Data Is It, Anyway? All events are online, free, and open to the public. Please see below for information on the specific sessions.
Please feel free to share event information with any of your colleagues and patrons who you think would be interested!
