Sign up for Data Marketplace user research

As part of our work on the Data Marketplace in 2023, we’ll be starting new user research under four main strands within CDDO and we're looking for research participants.

The four strands are:

Discover: find data to meet the aims of a project or service
Share: make agreeing and managing data shares easier, faster, and compliant
Deliver: support to create interoperable and reusable data services
Guide: access support, guidance, standards, and documentation for using and sharing data

We're interested in hearing from:

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

If you’re interested in taking part in interviews, focus groups, usability testing, or other types of research, please leave your details below. If you know of any other colleagues who may be interested in taking part in this research, please forward this to them. Thank you - we really appreciate your time.
