Rachel feels she’s gained a lot from being a Data Impact Fellow:
The Data Impact Fellowship Scheme is a fantastic facilitator for developing impactful activities, and one which I have hugely benefited from as an Early Career Researcher. Food Standards Australia New china rcs data Zealand (FSANZ) in Canberra to discuss my research findings, a visit that wouldn’t have been possible without the grant money. The UK Data Service have been extremely supportive throughout the scheme and have helped extend the reach of my research through Twitter and via the UK Data Service data impact blog. I would highly recommend applying for the scheme!

The UK Data Service fellowship award has not only enhanced my research contribution but most importantly, provided me the platform and opportunity to engage with business organisations about the need to explore and tap into Open Data resources.
