We are more than data.
We are a society.
The Center of Excellence in Data for Society is a non-profit, non-partisan think tank created to convene stakeholders and explore the social impact and policy role of data on society. CEDS considers any person or entity that produces or uses data to be a stakeholder, and we conduct research and analysis on how stakeholders contribute to the rapidly changing role of data across society. To this end, CEDS proposes public policies that protect the rights of stakeholders, promote access to data, and facilitate new opportunities for global engagement.
