Following the completion of our research on 'Data Scores as Governance' (https://datajusticelab.org/2018/12/06/data-scores-as-governance-final-report-published/<https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdatajusticelab.org%2F2018%2F12%2F06%2Fdata-scores-as-governance-final-report-published%2F&data=01%7C01%7CHintzA%40cardiff.ac.uk%7C870d24a48591439fa78108d65eb4b02f%7Cbdb74b3095684856bdbf06759778fcbc%7C1&sdata=niV87%2BszUC7h9l120apgQKjPJLjU2sVTEtp4gRFgGYw%3D&reserved=0>), the Data Justice Lab at Cardiff University is about to start a new project entitled 'Towards Democratic Auditing: Civic Participation in the Scoring Society'. It will explore how citizens can intervene into the development and implementation of scoring systems and other forms of data analytics, and how they can advance civic participation in an increasingly datafied society (https://datajusticelab.org/towards-democratic-auditing-civic-participation-in-the-scoring-society/<https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdatajusticelab.org%2Ftowards-democratic-auditing-civic-participation-in-the-scoring-society%2F&data=01%7C01%7CHintzA%40cardiff.ac.uk%7C870d24a48591439fa78108d65eb4b02f%7Cbdb74b3095684856bdbf06759778fcbc%7C1&sdata=gM37YUpvQeKkfPVAThsHK%2BX%2BQxvqNuQBMytoJ04zz8g%3D&reserved=0>).
