Connecting the dots: How data linkage is transforming research (Part 2)

In this two-parter, we bring together a panel of experts to discuss how combining different types of data is revolutionising research. We cover the breakthroughs happening when different datasets talk to each other, the challenges researchers face, and the innovative solutions making this treasure trove of information more accessible, useable and useful.

On the panel are: Robin Flaig (UK Longitudinal Linkage Collaboration & Generation Scotland), Prof Ruth Gilbert (University College London), Emma Gordon (Administrative Data Research UK), and Prof Jennifer Symonds (CLOSER).

In this episode, our experts discuss the challenges faced from the perspective of the public, data users, and the technical challenges to overcome.
