The Cancelled Conference Conference

16 Jun 2020, 14:00 – 18:30

Conferences around the world have been cancelled due to the Covid-19 outbreak, so the Centre for Data, Culture & Society is providing a platform for our community to share their latest ideas. We are excited to be streaming recent research and new work from the University of Edinburgh to the world.

The programme includes data-led papers from across the disciplines and a performance screening. All presenters are based in Schools within the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences. See below for the full programme.
