- Views on data management: this project focused on public perceptions of ‘good’ data practices, through a survey into public attitudes to data management models.
- Trust in data: Trust in Data involved a citizen jury with diverse citizens to explore their trust in data-driven systems and data management models.

- What constitutes ‘good data’ in the creative economy? (or Good Data): Good Data asked: What does good data / good data practice mean for specific actors in specific creative economy organisations?
- Living with data visualisation: With collaborators around the world, some of us are undertaking a range of projects to explore how people ‘live with data visualization’, asking: how do data visualizations impact on the way that people live, work and communicate?
- How data work in contexts: ‘How data work in contexts’ collects together some of the research by Susan Oman (and others) that considers how different kinds of data work for and against people in various contexts.
