Sign up for Data Marketplace user research

As part of our work on the Data Marketplace in 2024, we’ll continue with user research under four main strands within CDDO and we're looking for research participants.

The four strands are:

Discover: Publishing, Finding and Assessing data to meet the aims of a project or service.
Share: Making and agreeing and managing data shares easier, faster and compliant
Deliver: Creating interoperable and reusable data services
Guide: Accessing support, guidance, standards and documentation for data use and sharing

We're interested in hearing from:

Data practitioners and non-data practitioners
people who have had to access, use, or supply data in their roles
both civil servants and contractors in government
