ABIDA uses an approach of science-based discussion of trade-offs, scope for negotiation, and options for action in the case of conflicting social objectives and expectations regarding Big Data.
This science-based discussion is stimulated by various research and dialogue instruments. ABIDA will publish and present the results in different formats. In this context, the so-called synthesis report is one of the essential forms of publication, devoted primarily to the synthesis of the in-depth studies where selected topics are examined and prepared in more detail (see also “In-depth Studies”).
