The MacArthur Foundation Research Network on Opening Governance has released its core research agenda, which will focus primarily on two areas: data-driven governance and collaborative governance. In the former, the Network will explore how governing institutions can leverage quantitative evidence, including big, open, and small data, to improve decision-making. The Network’s line of research in collaborative governance will explore how governing institutions can open themselves to diverse participation and a wider range of expertise so as to improve decision-making.
