Friday Lunchtime Lecture: How Open Data Can Help Charities And Grant Funders Focus Resources

For our 11 September lecture... How open data can help charities and grant funders focus resources

Grantmakers and charities generate large amounts of data through the course of their work. If this data could be shared and compared easily, it could be useful to many other organisations, including other charities, NGOs and funders, enabling better use of resources by everyone.

Alice Casey from 360Giving and Tim Davis will explain how things work in practice and how people can get involved either as publishers, data users or contributors to the standard.

Before joining Nesta Alice worked for Involve.org.uk where she led on a range of research driven and practical projects that explored how public involvement in decision making can improve policy responses and public services. 

Tim Davies is an independent consultant & action-researcher based in Oxford, UK, and since October 2011, a PhD Student in Web Science and Social Policy with the University of Southampton.
