Information Sharing in policy and
practice. What needs to be
shared (and not shared) when
we share information?
ESRC Seminar Series
Seminar 2: Information sharing and
Places
2nd July 2015, University of East Anglia
#informationsharing
Aims of the seminar series
• Foster the exchange of information and ideas by bringing
together academic researchers around the theme of
information sharing in the delivery of public services and
policy making.
• Facilitate mutual understanding, knowledge exchange and
establish a community between academic researchers and
non-academic users from the public, private and third sectors,
especially individuals/organisations or affected by, challenges
of governance of information and information sharing
• Contribute to capacity building within the research
community (both academic, policy-maker and practice based)
by including established experts, early career researchers and
postgraduate students
Aims of the seminar series
• Initiate new ways of articulating and representing information
sharing in the public service that lead to collaborative
research projects.
• To inform policy and practice through reporting of seminar
proceedings (live commentary via tweets and subsequent
reports/presentations on the website/blog) in order to
provide insight to wider practitioner and policy-making
communities. This work will be led by the Centre of Excellence
for Information Sharing who have an established website,
Blog and Twitter feed devoted to the topic.
• To engage with the academic community through the
dissemination of ideas that make significant contributions to
shaping debates and discussions about the multi-disciplinary
aspects of information sharing in a range of contexts. This will
take the form of published outputs in international journals.
