Open Data and Collaborative Governance: Perspectives and Research Challenges

Presented by Professor Yannis Charalabidis, University of the Aegean

This research conversation presents current innovations and initiatives in the area of collaborative governance. Open and linked data, social media – based policy deliberation and electronic participation, policy modeling and simulation, serious games, citizen-driven service development, collective awareness and social innovation, opinion mining and sentiment analysis constitute new, interdisciplinary research areas for administrations worldwide, promising a more transparent and effective governance model. Participants will have the chance to see the state of the art and practice in European Union member states and projects, reflect upon the challenges and foreseen obstacles to overcome through applications of information and communication science. Learn and join open worldwide initiatives and research communities working on open and collaborative governance and see the future trends in ICT-enabled governance and policy informatics.
