Dear colleagues

The Association of African Universities (AAU), the Ethical Data Initiative and the University of Nottingham will be hosting a special edition of the Ethical Data Discussion Series to celebrate Africa Universities’ Week 2025 from November 10–14, 2025. This year marks the 58th anniversary of the Association of African Universities, underscoring the vital role of African Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) as engines of development. In the spirit of deliberating on critical HE issues, the topic of the new edition will be Data Sovereignty in the Age of AI: Data Policy in Higher Education, and will reprise a highly popular previous episode, diving into the ethical mandates and policy frameworks required for genuine digital sovereignty.

This online event will be held on Thursday, 13 November, 2025 from 13:15-14:45 UTC/GMT.
