The project is designed to inform and provide guidance as the research progresses with prototypes and technical briefings made openly available through the project web pages, established research repositories or GitHub, where they can be regularly scrutinised across its community of collaborators, influencers and advisors.
Technical briefings and research papers developed to date offer opportunities for risk modelling and governance, insights into user preferences and novel privacy-enhancing protocols for data management, the latter a response to acute requirements of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Open Source Projects
