The Accountability and Ethics Challenge Working Group (ACCEDE) is working with key stakeholder groups to:

> Advance knowledge and understanding of the accountability and ethical challenges that arise when working with data in real-world practical contexts of application.
> Assess how these challenges are currently being addressed.
> Provide suggestions for how stakeholder responses to the accountability and ethics arising from the emergence of digital ecosystems can be improved and governed more effectively.

We collect experiences and career paths our diverse set of members have taken to get to where they are, to inspire the community to look across jobs and industries. Our first spotlight is on our member, Siraj Ahmed Shaikh - Professor of Systems Security at the Institute of Future Transport and Cities (IFTC) at Coventry University.

Get in touch to get your career path published, and Dmitry will be sending around the same questions you see in the spotlight to get a representative series of these blogs, covering different industries, job role, and seniority levels.
