Objectives of the Open Data Working Group
An initiative of the International Innovation Corps (UChicago Trust) and the Data Governance Network (anchored by IDFC Institute), the Open Data Working Group hosted its inaugural convening on Friday, November 6th. By bringing together an interdisciplinary group of researchers, practitioners, and government officials for a series of roundtable convenings, the Working Group aims to catalyse insightful conversation and inform contemporary discourse in a way that advances India’s Open Government Data aspirations. During the first session, participants framed the issue as a balancing act between stakeholders from the supply side (government) and demand side (civil society, academia, the research community, the private sector, and the general public).
