If you have a question about this talk, please contact Eiko Yoneki .

I’ll talk about why open data matters, and how we try to change the world with it at Open Knowledge. I will also cover some of the seemingly disparate things I’ve worked on since my PhD, and the joys and challenges of systems which have people in them.

Bio: Dr Laura James is CEO of Open Knowledge, and Co-Founder of Makespace, Cambridge’s community inventing shed. Laura was previously first employee and VP Engineering at AlertMe, building a pioneering internet of things connected home system, and was Head of Knowledge at Evi.com, an AI which answers natural language questions. Laura has also worked at AT&T Labs in the US and UK, and the University of Cambridge. Laura is a Chartered Engineer, holds Masters and PhD degrees from the University of Cambridge, and is an alumnus of the Royal Academy of Engineering Leadership Award and NESTA Crucible fellowship programmes.
