Data for Policy CIC ^Companies

Data for Policy is the premier global forum for the interdisciplinary and cross-sector discussion of the digital revolution transforming policy in government and the public sector. Established in 2015, it is an independent non-profit initiative registered in the UK as a Community Interest Company. It is supported by a large number of key stakeholders, including prestigious academic institutions, government departments, international agencies, non-profit institutions, and businesses.

The inaugural conference was ‘Policy-making in the Big Data Era’, hosted by Cambridge University. Since then two subsequent conferences have been held: ‘Frontiers of Data Science for Government’, also hosted by Cambridge University with further support from the European Commission (2016), and ‘Government by Algorithm?’ hosted by UK Government Data Science Partner at the BEIS Conference Center [1VS] (Westminster, 2017).
