The Governance Lab @ NYU organized a two-day design laboratory that brought together activists and researchers, industry designers and technologists, as well as academic, government, civil society and business leaders to design concrete methods through which institutions can reinvent themselves and citizens can organize themselves and engage response. Theresa Pardo was invited to collaborate as part of this group of leaders who are willing to implement ground-breaking interventions and are interested in engaging citizens in the process of governance. Along with Joel Gurin, Executive Director of the OrgPedia Project, Theresa was co-facilitator of the session How to make government data more accessible and valuable for businesses and the public.

This event was supported by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. Pictured to Theresa's right is Dr. Nigel Shadbolt, Chairman and Co-founder of the Open Data Institute.
