Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSamuel Goëta is an associate professor and researcher specializing in open data, transparency, and data literacy with over a decade of experience bridging academia, civil society, and practice. He co-founded the French chapter of the Open Knowledge Foundation and the cooperative Datactivi.st to make public data accessible and actionable for citizens, journalists and local governments. His PhD in sociology examined the hidden labor and institutional frictions behind open data release, informing both his teaching at Sciences Po Aix and his applied training work with École des Données. Author of Les données de la démocratie, he combines ethnographic research with hands-on project management (including press relations for the Open Data Index) to shape how data serve democratic accountability. Based in the Marseille area, he is known for turning critical sociological insight into practical tools and courses for data mediation and civic empowerment. An unusual strength is his ability to translate behind-the-scenes sociological findings into operational strategies for data reuse and public engagement.
