Data Futures Lab

The Data Futures Lab is an experimental space for instigating new approaches to data stewardship challenges. It provides funding, scaffolding for collaboration, convening around emerging ideas, and a place to workshop approaches to data stewardship which give greater control and agency to people.

Our Data Economy is Broken. Let’s Fix It.

Today’s data economy is failing to create a positive impact for all members of society. In fact, it often creates a negative impact for people and communities who have very little transparency or agency over their data.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Mozilla’s Data Futures Lab is working with industry partners, coalitions, researchers, policymakers, and activists to create a more fair data economy.
