Making Policy Data Accessible to All

One of the most valuable resources for researchers, policymakers, and citizens concerned with public issues is high-quality information sources which enable creation of knowledge and understanding of policy options.

Policy research requires collection and processing of information which often remains buried in the form of the technical language of lengthy policy papers accessible to only a handful of experts. This not only limits the audience of the policy products to the experts and excludes wider lay population, but also does not readily allow for collaboration and reuse of the publicly available data for other policy goals.

A panel of experts tackled this issue head-on at a recent event. Listen above.
