The focus of this programme will be on contributions the mathematical sciences can make to enhancing opportunities for the analysis of data, especially obtained through linkage, whilst protecting privacy and taking account of related practical constraints. The programme will seek to promote exchange between the mathematical sciences and related disciplines, such as economics, as well as with practitioners and domain experts on the front line of enabling access to large databases: for example in official statistics, medical research and commerce. The programme will include five events designed to promote interchange between these different communities as well as to open these themes up to a wider spectrum of researchers in the mathematical sciences, including those at early career stages.
