Research Intentions and Methodology
In what ways will digital technologies and use of the Internet channels to collect, curate and exploit knowledge change approaches to public policy formulation, implementation and delivery?
Knowledge and learning in 2050
In what ways will digital technologies and use of the Internet channels to collect, curate and exploit knowledge change approaches to public policy formulation, implementation and delivery?
New architecturesNew policy frameworks
New professionals
