A collage of four photos from the “Synthetic Data Public Workshop.” Each photo shows a meeting room with participants seated around tables, listening to presenters who are standing near large screens displaying slides. The slides include text and graphics about synthetic data and governance. The room has exposed brick walls and arched ceilings with greenery hanging from beams. Branded banners for the UK Synthetic Data Community Group are visible in the background. The bottom of the image features the UK Synthetic Data Community Group logo and name.
Yesterday, DPUKPortal & UK Synthetic Data Community Group ran a public workshop on making synthetic data from Trusted Research Environments available.
Public input is vital in shaping governance ideas. Thanks to all who joined!

Prof Sarah Bauermeister has been speaking at the #TBI-Reporter conference today about curation of data at scale. At #DPUK she developed the #C-Surv #ontology enabling highly effective data management. #braininjury #dataanalysis # dementia #trauma @oxfordpsychiatry.bsky.social
It's great to hear about the huge amount of work going on with traumatic brain injuries at the TBI_REPORTER General Assembly this week. A key resource is its #hub hosted on #DPUK's data portal (@dpukdataportal.bsky.social) - which is collating & curating #braininjury research data at scale. #TBI
Great to have DPUK engaged at #VasCog 2025 yesterday. Notable contributions from #AtticusHainsworth and #JoannaWardlaw. We are looking forward to some really interesting #DPUK #vascular #dementia research in future, building on our existing work. #cognition #brain @ukdri.ac.uk
