The OECD Observatory of Public Sector Innovation (OPSI) and its partners at the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Research and Innovation are excited to convene innovators from around the world for a conference on Innovation in Government: The New Normal on 20-21 November 2017. The conference will highlight insights from OPSI’s work with countries that are transforming their operations and improving the lives of their people through innovation. It will bring together government leaders, public servants, and innovative partners in industry and civil society to connect, share experiences, and collaborate.

Established in June 2014 the Joint Research Centre's EU Policy Lab provides a collaborative, experimental and multidisciplinary space inside the European Commission to support innovative policy making at EU level. In our activitieswe deploy a policy innovation toolbox ranging from horizon scanning and behavioural insights to collaborative creation and speculative design.
The talk will be centred on our ongoing project #Blockchain4EU: Blockchain for Industrial Transformations. By request of the European Commission's DG GROW, the project is a forward looking exploration of Blockchain for industry including supply chains and logistics, energy, intellectual property rights, authentication, and digital manufacturing. Particular focus will be placed on our use of generative research and prototyping for policy together with an extended community of technical experts and developers, social and economic scientists, entrepreneurs, legal experts, designers, business and labour representatives, and policy makers at local, national and EU levels.
The aim of this talk will be to discuss the challenges to apply innovative methods and disciplines such as behavioural economics and experimentation in developing countries like Mexico. The main takeaway will be a roadmap on how to achieve this goal, a lot has been said about Nudge or Innovation Units in developed countries, however –in our experience- different strategies need to be applied in countries with less developed institutions to guarantee autonomy, sustainability, and gold standards. Moreover, we will present some results applying behavioural economics and experimentation to tackle some of the big challenges in México: corruption and gender equality.
Machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms are transforming our day-to-day lives. Just as moving from paper maps to smartphone apps makes us better navigators, the move from using traditional analysis to using machine learning can make us better regulators. This talk answers three questions.
Stefan argues, using an array of examples, that much regulation is ultimately about recognising patterns in data. Machine learning helps regulators find those patterns.
Cities worldwide face serious data-related challenges and are formulating strong ambitions with regards to topics like smart cities, open data, big data, and data driven, evidence based policy making. Also cities are using data more and more in contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals by working with organizations like World Council on City Data. In other words, cities want and need work with data. However, often the problem is that city-officials are no data experts.
The Dutch city of Eindhoven realised this in the summer of 2016 and challenged CBS Statistics Netherlands to jointly develop a solution for this problem.
