Regarding the work plan, team leaders were to prepare a list of activities to act as a guide in drafting a one year plan. Can you prepare something and lead the session during the meeting?<br>Thanks.<div><div class="h5">

><br>><br>> Call for research proposals: exploring the emerging impacts of open data in<br>> developing countries<br>><br>> Open data has become a hot topic around the world. Open data initiatives,<br>> from governments and grassroots groups are emerging in a wide range of<br>
> settings. But what impacts do they have? And how can they lead to greater<br>> transparency and accountability, efficiency and innovation, and greater<br>> social inclusion? That's what the <a href="http://www.opendataresearch.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.opendataresearch.org</a> research network<br>
> is planning to explore.<br>> The Web Foundation and International Development Research Centre (IDRC) are<br>> inviting research proposals that address current gaps in the evidence base<br>> underlying the implementation of open data initiatives in the developing<br>
> world, and to inform policy and practice in a range of different settings.<br>> Research partners will be invited to form part of an international research<br>> network that will be established over the course of 2013.<br>
><br>><br>> The project will fund a series of detailed case studies that examine the<br>> emerging impacts of specific on-going open data initiatives that address key<br>> development themes. Cases could look at:<br>
> Open data in local and national budgeting processesOpen data for legislation<br>> processes and elections<br>> Open data in judicial systems<br>> Open data for smarter cities<br>> Open data for the delivery of privately provided public services<br>
> Open data for the regulation of markets (e.g. extractive industries)<br>> Open data for the welfare and empowerment of marginalized groups and<br>> communities (e.g. data for small farmers)<br>> Open data and international development<br>
> The call for proposals sets out full details of what we are looking for in<br>> the case studies, and the process for application.<br>> As a result of this call, we expect to issue a series of grants ranging from<br>
> USD$25,000 to USD$75,000. It is expected that smaller grants will focus on<br>> small, single-country or local initiative cases, and larger grants can<br>> include a wider range of activities such as multi-country comparisons of<br>
> open data about a particular governance domain (e.g. budget, cities,<br>> extractive industries), technical assistance to on-going initiatives and/or<br>> significant engagement with relevant policy dialogues. The duration of each<br>
> project will not exceed 12 months, with projects expected to start in early<br>> 2012.<br>><br>><br>> The closing date for the call is 10th September 2012.<br>><br>> Download the call:<br>> - Call for proposals (HTML)<br>
