On 18 September 2015, CSaP teamed up with Cambridge Big Data and the Royal Statistical Society to run a workshop exploring how data science and ‘Big Data’ can help inform and improve public policy.

CSaP's latest Policy Challenge briefing was launched at a major conference in Cambridge this week which brought together researchers, policy makers and industry practitioners to explore the latest developments in the 'Big Data Era'.

Earlier this month CSaP Policy Fellow, Richard Sargeant, hosted a meeting at the Government Digital Service (GDS) which was set up to revolutionise the way citizens interact with government departments.
