We are excited to announce the Data for Policy 2025 Conference, Europe Edition, taking place on 12 & 13 June, 2025, at Leiden University, The Hague, Netherlands. The conference will focus on “Twin Transitions in Data and Policy for a Sustainable and Inclusive Future”, addressing the role of digital and green transitions in overcoming key global challenges.
This regional conference edition will explore how the convergence of digital technologies and sustainable policies can be leveraged to tackle pressing issues such as climate change, inequality, and economic disruption. We will delve into the implications of these transitions for governance, data usage, and policymaking.
Call for Special Tracks
In the first phase of the call, we are now inviting proposals for special tracks in two categories:
- Research/Policy/Practitioner Tracks: These tracks should explore how data and technology can be applied to address global challenges, aligning with our conference theme: “Twin Transitions in Data and Policy for a Sustainable and Inclusive Future”. Proposals should focus on the integration of digital innovations and green policy initiatives to tackle urgent issues such as climate change, social inequality, and economic resilience.
- Policy/Practitioner Tracks: For those focused on policy and practical applications, we invite Policy/Practitioner Track proposals related to the broader theme of Data for Policy. Submissions should consider how data and policy intersect to drive meaningful change, featuring innovative methodologies, real-world applications, and impactful case studies.
Successful tracks will be integrated into the wider conference call inviting contributions (extended abstracts, full papers and panels) in the next phase. Special Track chairs will also have the opportunity to propose an associated Special Collection in the Data & Policy journal published by Cambridge University Press in due course.

We look forward to hearing from you!
