The 2nd of March, we will have the opportunity to meet with Stefaan Verhulst, Co-Founder and Chief Research and Development Officer of the Governance Laboratory. Verhulst’s latest scholarship centers on how technology can improve people’s lives and the creation of more effective and collaborative forms of governance. Discussion topics might include:

Data Responsibility: How data originally collected for private purposes was exchanged for public ends: an act of data responsibility.

Data Collaboratives: Data Collaboratives are a new form of collaboration, beyond the public-private partnership model, in which participants from different sectors — in particular companies -  exchange their data to create public value.
