The EDI JISC mailing list is a private, moderated discussion list accessible only to subscribers. By subscribing, you will receive updates from the EDI.
The list also serves as a discussion forum for subscribers to exchange ideas and collaborate on issues involving data ethics. Only subscribers can send messages to the list and reply to messages. All messages and replies are stored in the list archive, which is again only accessible to subscribers.

Partners
The Ethical Data Initiative Partners are organisations that collaborate with the EDI to support its mission and activities. They play a key role in promoting responsible research, serving as role models for the EDI community, advocating for the EDI and its mission within their organisations, at conferences and events, and contributing to various EDI activities such as co-developing Data Ethics Open Educational Resources (OER) and promoting initiatives like the Data Ethics in Education Campaign.
Being part of our network of partners offers numerous benefits, including the opportunity to collaborate and share resources, information, and best practices. It allows for the exchange of diverse perspectives and experiences, leading to more comprehensive and effective solutions to common challenges. Additionally, being part of a larger network working to solve challenges together increases visibility and impact.
Partners will have their logo added to the EDI website and their work promoted in our website, newsletters, and other promotional materials.
If you or your organisation are interested in joining our partnership network, please contact kathryn.bailey@ethicaldatainitiative.org for more information.
