Summer of Open Data: The Complete List of Panels and Conversations
The Summer of Open Data is a three-month project spearheaded by the Open Data Policy Lab (an initiative of The GovLab with support from Microsoft) in partnership with the Digital Trade & Data Governance Hub, Open Data Institute, the Open Data Charter, and BrightHive. From July through September, we spoke with data experts in local and regional governments, national statistical agencies, international bodies, and private companies to advance our understanding of how to establish a vision of open data focused on collaboration, responsibility, and purpose.
Below, we provide all those conversations and their participants. We welcome visitors to the Open Data Policy Lab to use the links provided to read our blogs summarizing key points and to watch videos of the full sessions. We’re confident these discussions have major value, not just in improving how we use data but also in ensuring we can achieve a third wave of open data that addresses data gaps and is fueled by enhanced data collaboration.
