We are delighted to announce that the upcoming Collaborations Workshop 2026 (CW26) will be sponsored by DataKind.

DataKind is a global nonprofit that builds and deploys AI and data science solutions for public benefit organisations. Over more than a decade, we have delivered 400+ technical engagements with 200+ social impact organizations across the Sustainable Development Goals. We design data-driven tools that are trustworthy, actionable, and user-focused, with openness as the default and the goal of enabling broader adoption and impact. Our approach combines rigorous technical design with real-world deployment so that every solution drives measurable social benefit.

CW26 will take place as a hybrid event from Tuesday 28 April to Thursday 30 April 2026 at ICC Belfast, and will centre around one powerful theme and clear purpose: Strengthening the Research Software Community. Registration is still open for remote tickets via Eventbrite.
