Re-Thinking Government, Re-Imagining Democracy

Markle Chief of Research Stefaan Verhulst is joining a multidisciplinary group of thinkers and doers in London for the Re-Thinking Government, Re-Imagining Democracy meeting at 10 Downing Street and the Open Data Institute. The objective is to develop a strategy and plan for a set of concrete initiatives and commitments that can help to:

• Promulgate a new theory and vocabulary for open, participatory and “peer progressive” governance;
• Define a new curriculum for teaching participatory governance and problem solving to the next generation of public servants and civic innovators;
• Create methods with which to gauge the effectiveness of open and collaborative governance practices;
• Design a research and action agenda to discover and apply new designs for our institutions of governance.
