About the DSxHE Data Diversity Theme Partner Events

The DSxHE Data Diversity Theme are co-hosting a series of events to showcase and share existing work, tools, and resources developed with partners across the health research sector. The aim of the events is to

• raise awareness of what is already available

• create space to share learning about how these resources were developed

• help identify priorities for future action.

About the Data Diversity Theme

Health datasets often don’t reflect the diversity of the populations they aim to serve. This lack of representativeness can limit the generalisability of research, reduce the effectiveness of new tools, and risk widening health inequalities.

A partnership between Data Science for Health Equity and Cancer Research UK, the Data Diversity Theme brings together researchers, clinicians, funders, and patient advocates to co-create practical ways of embedding diversity across the research lifecycle. It is co-led by Dr Toral Gathani (University of Oxford) and Dr Brieuc Lehmann (UCL).
