Welcome to the Exeter Data Studies website, dedicated to the philosophy of data-intensive science and the history and social studies of the lives and journeys of ‘big data’ in the sciences and beyond.

This work is coordinated by Sabina Leonelli at the University of Exeter (UK). Our researchers have received funding from the European Research Council, the Leverhulme Trust, the Australian Research Council, the UK Economic and Social Research Council, the Turing Institute, and others sources since 2013 (see project list). The research work is based at the Exeter Centre for the Study of the Life Sciences (Egenis) and is linked to the Exeter institute for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence since 2019.

This website hosts information about all of these projects and scholars, as well as resources and publications on data-intensive science, and news and events relating to our work. You are warmly invited to leave us feedback either through our twitterfeed @DataScienceFeed or by emailing us.

The Data Crunch: Every Monday morning over breakfast, Data Studies gathers together with IDSAI's Data Governance folks. Anyone interested is cordially invited! For now, we meet online (not as usual on Streatham campus) at 9AM, for an hour of informal discussions... Find here the reading list.
