Using data as a policy maker
The Southern Policy Centre and ODI Hampshire came together with Open Data Aha! and KnowNow Information to build a discussion event on the use of data in public policy making. Hampshire Hub, the data store for our area, hosted the event.
Fab speakers for #ODPolicy on Mon: @JYDenham @t_budge @northernjamie @MobilityCooper @_datasmith @nallott http://bitly.com/ODPOLICY #opendata- Our organisations came together because we know that open data can be used to improve public policy making. But it has to be made more accessible, and public policy makers and decision makers need to know how it can be useful to them, on a practical level.
