In an era where data is increasingly recognized as a critical asset, the potential for informed decision-making and effective governance is vast. However, the use of data as a lever for public participation and societal benefit requires more than just mere collection and analytics. Meaningful use demands a strategic framework that enables the institutionalization for data as an actionable resource within the public sector.
The Data Foundation and George Washington University’s Trachtenberg School of Public Policy and Public Administration invite scholars, policy-makers and -influencers, practitioners, and data scientists to contribute proposals that explore the multifaceted challenges and opportunities for contextualizing data in public sector organizations.
