Data for Policy CIC

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 six further conferences have been held, with the most recent 2022 edition hosted in three international cities, Hong Kong, Seattle and Brussels. In 2019, Data for Policy launched its partner journal Data & Policy in collaboration with Cambridge University Press & Assessment.
