We are delighted to announce we will be hosting Andy Youell at Cardiff University on Monday 8th April!  Andy is an experienced data professional who has been at the leading edge of data issues across higher education for over 25 years. His work has covered all aspects of the data and systems life-cycle and, in recent years, he has focused on improving the HE sector’s relationship with data through improved governance and data capabilities. He is especially interested in the tensions that exist between the rigid structures of data and the dynamic complexities of the world it attempts to represent.
