This year's theme, "From records to research: Harnessing administrative data to enhance lives", underscores the transformative potential of administrative data in making a positive societal impact.
I attended the ADR UK Conference 2023 in Birmingham, and it was a great opportunity to connect with others in the field, exchange ideas, and learn from impactful research. And this year promises to be just as inspiring! Don’t miss the chance to share your insights, collaborate with fellow experts, and contribute to the growing field of data-driven research.
