During this time, I’ve seen much greater use of real (and often messy) data in teaching, which I honestly believe is a fantastic driver for skills development and supports employability Alongside this has been the growth of big data and data science, coupled with the use of AI and Machine Learning. This is an area I predict a huge singapore rcs data amount of growth in as part of the fourth industrial revolution.

If it doesn’t sound too grand a thing to say, what would you consider to be your legacy?
Oh gosh, that does sound grand! But it’s fair to say that I’m proud of the contributions I’ve made to providing access to high quality data and information services to support research and teaching across a range of disciplines and my contribution to the establishment of the UK Data Service. It’s really clear to me that the UK Data Service has made significant difference in supporting research and teaching in the social sciences and beyond. It’s amazing to remember that we’re still providing census and international data after all these years. I definitely feel like I helped create a centre of expertise which many in HE rely on.
