DARE UK Community Working Groups are purpose-driven teams assembled to achieve a specific goal. They are designed to tackle discrete challenges, which can span a wide range, from developing tools and policies to exploring new practices and creating innovative solutions or proof of concepts. They operate under a short-term framework, typically lasting less than 18 months, and their mission is to tackle well-defined, tractable pieces of work, all within the broad scope of the DARE UK programme.
DARE UK Working Groups are often linked to a broader DARE UK Community Interest Group. This collaboration ensures that the community’s collective efforts address both overarching challenges and specific issues. Each output produced by a Working Group is given a unique Digital Object Identifier (DOI) and linked to the DARE UK Zenodo Community. This process ensures that their work becomes a part of the shared body of knowledge within the DARE UK programme and the broader sensitive data research community.
Working Groups Endorsed by DARE UK
Establishing or Joining a Working Group
DARE UK Community Groups are subject to an endorsement process before they are established and are guided by a code of conduct to ensure that community management best practices are upheld. To propose a DARE UK Community Working Group, outline your proposal using this Working Group Charter template and send it to enquiries@dareuk.org.uk. The DARE UK team will carefully review your submission with the programme leadership and inform you of the outcome via email once a decision has been made.
DARE UK Community Working Groups are open to anyone to propose, join and/or contribute to. We invite all those interested in sensitive data research to propose relevant groups or join existing ones to help grow the sensitive data research community.
