TRUSTED POLICY-MAKING IN THE DIGITAL ERA

Smarter citizens engagement and decision processes

Abstract

Data-driven based solutions are widely emerging in our regional governments, presenting an opportunity to design effective local strategies.

The seminar will explore how policy decisions can be based on sound evidence, presenting and discussing:

- the benefits for decision-makers in using smart data platforms and interconnected services, such as spatial planning or social network modelling,

- innovative EU-funded projects solutions and other best practices,

The seminar event is organized by Piedmont Region in partnership with TOP-IX Consortium under the umbrella of European Week of Regions and Cities 2019.
