About this event
DataIntell Summit 2026
Most research never gets the recognition it deserves. It stays unpublished, goes uncredited, or is judged by citations instead of real impact. DataIntell Summit 2026 brings together academic and industry experts to explore why, and what researchers can do about it. Join students, researchers and innovators from Africa, the UK, the US and beyond for expert talks, group discussions and a hands-on workshop.
Why this conversation matters
Good research goes missing in three ways.
Attribution
Uncredited
Ideas whose development was never documented.
Evaluation
Unrealised
Impact misread when citation counts stand in for contribution.
Now add AI. Visibility, attribution and accountability get harder, not easier.
The central idea
A contribution shouldn't be judged by attention alone.
How work can be discovered, fairly attributed and carried forward.
Agenda
A programme built on evidence, experience and critique.
Star what you don't want to miss.

Session 1
The Research We Overlook: Why Valuable Postgraduate Work Remains Unseen
Professor O.M Olayiwola
Speaking
Professor O.M Olayiwola
Professor Olaniyi Mathew Olayiwola is a Professor of Statistics at the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), Nigeria, where he has served in several academic leadership roles, including Head of the Department of Statistics (2019–2023) and Deputy Dean of the Postgraduate School (2025–present). His expertise spans survey methodology, sampling techniques, official statistics, statistical capacity building, and machine learning for public health. He developed Nigeria’s first predictive mathematical models for estimating ten-year reinfection probabilities for lymphatic filariasis and onchocerciasis, in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Health and with support from the Clinton Health Access Initiative. Professor Olayiwola has authored over 74 peer-reviewed journal articles and supervised five PhD and 32 MSc students to completion, alongside more than 100 undergraduate research projects. He has also served as a consultant to the National Bureau of Statistics and contributed to national initiatives in survey methodology, foundational literacy and numeracy assessment, and health data research. His international experience includes a sabbatical at the University of Kent, UK (2023–2024), and contributions to health data initiatives involving NHS England and the Kent, Medway and Sussex Secure Data Environment. He is a Fellow of the Royal Statistical Society (RSS), a Chartered Statistician and Chartered Scientist, both awarded in 2012, and the recipient of the RSS 2020 Mardia Prize for COVID-19 Response in Nigeria. In February 2026, he delivered FUNAAB’s 108th Inaugural Lecture, titled *“From Sample to Solution: Harnessing Statistics for Evidence-Based Public Decision-Making in the Data Age.”* His work reflects a sustained commitment to advancing statistical knowledge, strengthening research capacity, and promoting evidence-based decision-making in Nigeria and beyond.

Session 2
DataIntell: From idea to impact
Oluwasegun Odesola
Speaking
Oluwasegun Odesola
After hearing why so much research goes unseen, uncredited and unused, discover how DataIntell helps. The founders introduce the DataIntell platform and its Beyond Citations framework: tools that help researchers check for existing work, protect their ideas, and show the real impact of their research. This leads straight into the hands-on workshop.
