IDX builds on existing Indigenous Data Sovereignty and Data Governance networks to advance policy and practice while creating and sharing tools that support the governance of Indigenous data across research data ecosystems. Together, we’ll explore Indigenous Data Sovereignty and Governance through conversations with Indigenous leaders, researchers, data practitioners, policymakers, and community voices from around the world. Launching late August 2026.
