DARE UK Community Interest Groups are structured around broad-based challenges, addressing specific pieces of work within the scope of the DARE UK programme. These groups are open-ended, which empowers them to explore new opportunities and problems in the data research space without time constraints, such as developing new software tools to support information governance, risk assessment and decision-making or investigating new data research methodologies.
DARE UK Community Interest Groups serve as the framework for forming DARE UK Community Working Groups, which address specific issues related to the DARE UK programme and the broader UK sensitive data landscape. This strategic approach ensures that Interest Groups maintain a wide view while Working Groups address specific challenges, advancing the DARE UK vision through open communication and knowledge sharing.
