FYI:


On Wednesday July 8th at 15h, the MacArthur Foundation Research Network on Opening Governance* and Nesta will hold a public workshop on innovations in governance. The event, Opening Governance Research – Taking Stock and Looking Forward, will focus on lessons learned and remaining questions related to innovations in health and wellbeing, Internet Governance, and economic development, among other areas of public concern.
 
 In particular, the event will explore: 
· new means for quantifying our communities and ourselves to improve decision making; and 
· how collective intelligence and networked expertise can help solve public problems. 
Members of the Network, including Beth Simone, Noveck, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, Deborah Estrin, Geoff Mulgan, Erik Johnston, Stefaan Verhulst and others, will seek to engage you in a dialogue to the end of collaboratively developing a clear understanding of where we stand in regard to governance innovation and how we can make progress toward identifying and operationalizing what works in practice. 

The link below will provide the details of Nesta's address and a form to register for the meeting.
