Participants gathered in Macao on April 25, 2023, for the 2023 World Data Forum Macau Satellite Event. During the full-day conference, academics, members of government agencies, professionals in the private sector, civil society members and students discussed data dilemmas across a variety of themes, while reflecting on whether taking a human-centred systems approach can help solve these.
The Macao event “Dealing with data dilemmas: Risks and opportunities of a human-centred systems approach to data and digital technology development” was a satellite event of this year’s United Nations World Data Forum, which was being held in Hangzhou, China, from April 24 to April 27. The Macao conference was organised by the United Nations University Institute in Macau (UNU Macau) in partnership with Centre for Data Science, University of Macau, Faculty of Innovation Engineering, Macau University of Science and Technology, and University of Saint Joseph.
Insights from the conference have been gathered in the report “Dealing with Data Dilemmas. Towards a Human-Centered Systems Approach to Data and Digital Technology Development. Report of the United Nations World Data Forum Satellite Event in Macau, April 25, 2023“, authored by UNU Macau’s Senior Research Advisor Dr. Franz Gatzweiler, academic coordinator of the event.
