The Make Data Count Summit 2024 took place in London earlier this month. Over two days, we explored what areas of research infrastructure, practices, evidence and evaluation we need to focus on to advance data metrics and our understanding of the reach and impact of open data.
This week we are thrilled to welcome Clare Dean as Communications Consultant for Make Data Count. In this role, Clare will be supporting Make Data Count’s outreach and community engagement activities. Clare brings a wealth of experience working with organizations in scholarly communications and open science initiatives, but best to let her tell you about it. Here’s a brief introduction to Clare, in her own words. Welcome Clare!
