An update on our 2025 Data Impact Fellows and a chance to view their video.
We were delighted to announce the 2025 Data Impact Fellows at the beginning of the year.
They were selected by our panel of judges from a strong pool of applicants who are working on interesting and important work in the areas of poverty, deprivation and housing and homelessness.
These focus areas were chosen to be part of a larger piece of work we are doing as an impact team, focussing on the themes of mental health and wellbeing in data and children and young people in data.
Introductions
It was great to be able to meet the Fellows at the Library of Birmingham at the end of January. We spent time hearing about the research and work they are doing, getting to know them, sharing a bit about what we do in the UK Data Service and looking at what impact in research means to them.
Watch our video which gives a flavour of the day.
We’ve also had the opportunity to hear more about what the Fellows are working on and their backgrounds via their posts on the Data Impact blog. If you missed any of them you can read them all here.
Online meet-up
It was great to be able to meet all of the Fellows online recently to catch up with them on what they’ve been up to and look at what’s coming up in the next few months for them.
It’s great to hear that they’re able to take time to do impact-focused work alongside their day-to-day, whether it be conversations with government groups, working alongside charities who are working on the ground in their area or presenting work through reports or conferences.
We’re looking forward to hearing more about what they get up to and more insights into their work over the next few months as they write up their next contributions to the Data Impact blog.
What’s coming up
We’re looking forward to sharing some more of the Fellows’ thoughts and experiences through future Data Impact blog posts, and these will be coming out over the autumn and winter. We’re also going to be running some more online meet-ups on a variety of topics.
As well as following their updates on the Data Impact blog you can find most of the Fellows on social media of one sort or another, so give them a follow, you can find their details on this page.
You can also take a look at our 2023, 2019, 2017 and 2016 cohorts and see where they are now and what they’re working on.
