The datafication of society, resulting from digital transformation and computational advances, has generated a set of externalities such as increased data asymmetries where data is not equally accessible to those that need it. To advance access and reuse of data for public interest purposes we have explored a variety of new partnership models where (often privately held) data is made accessible to generate insights that can help address societal challenges, such as a pandemic. The challenge however is that setting up such data collaboratives still involves large transaction costs and many of these never go beyond the pilot stage, are hard to sustain, and often lack a robust governance structure. This talk will consider a few foundational elements needed to make data collaboratives more systematic; sustainable and responsible, and share experiences on how they can be achieved.
