<span style="background:white">There are six broad,
interdisciplinary, cross-sectoral areas of interest,
which form the standard tracks of the conference.
Following the momentous events of 2020, the
International Committee and organisers wish to
recognise the additional focus on data throughout the
whole of society as a consequence of the Covid-19
pandemic, and the opportunities this creates for
learning about and developing data and policy
interactions. This focus should not be seen as
limiting, and we welcome submissions across domains,
sectors and applications. In addition to the standard
tracks, nine Special Tracks have also been shortlisted
this year (Special Track 9 added to the original eight
on 1st Feb).</span><br>
