PLUTO demonstration at UN World Data Forum 2024
September 25, 2025
On 14 November, Connor Hogan and Seliem El-Sayed hosted a one-hour session at the UN World Data Forum, in Medellín, Colombia, titled: Data Solidarity and PLUTO: Introducing a Tool for Bringing Public Value to Data Governance. The session commenced with a short presentation on data solidarity and PLUTO. This was followed by an interactive session in which participants were able to use PLUTO themselves, based on real-world scenarios.
Following this, there was an open discussion to explore the participants’ experiences with the tool, make suggestions, and investigate its practical application in their own sectors. The session was open to all stakeholders who use data or who are interested in the public value of data use, including government, public and private bodies, philanthropic organisations and researchers. Attendees not only learned how to use PLUTO, but how to actively contribute to the creation and maintenance of public value within their respective domains.
