Love Data Week 2025

Think about who owns data compared to who uses data. Different groups – like researchers, the government, companies, or organizations – may collect data. They could own it, share it, publish it online, or combine it. This year’s Love Data Week wants us to ask, ‘Whose Data is it Anyway?’ to help us remember to think about where the data came from before using it.

Check out the events happening around the world that focus on:

• Data citation
• Fact-checking and accounting for misuse of data
• Finding data sources
• Transparency of AI
• Data governance and management
• Data sovereignty, such as Indigenous data
• Pros/cons of sharing data
• Copyright and other intellectual property associated with data
