The Data Justice Project (DJP) and the Welcome Solidarity Network (Red Solidaria de Acogida, RSA) are organizing a workshop for academics and activists to collectively share what is a stake in data-driven systems related to migration and the governance of refugees in the European context. We will introduce some of these technical systems and the associated policies together with experiences in Greece, Spain and the southern border. We hope to have a productive conversation about the impact of data on the rights of migrants and refugees.
There will be limited space. If you are interested in attending please email Javier Sánchez Monedero at sanchez-monederoj[at]cardiff.ac.uk including in the subject [Workshop-Madrid].
To introduce the topic and systems and reduce the gap with non-English speakers, we will hold an introductory seminar of the ongoing research of the project on Friday 7th June. More information here.
