This pointer from the UK Digital Curation Center newsletter will, I think, be of interest to CNI-announce readers.

The UK Government has recently published a new report Seizing the data opportunity, which outlines the government's strategy for UK data capability. The report highlights the need to increase training in data analytics and data science, and announces what promises to be a landmark event next year - an Open Science Data Forum hosted by the Royal Society.

A brief summary of the report and a pointer to the full document is at
