We are delighted to invite you to join us for a research roundtable on open governance in the UK.

Transparency International UK is a carrying out a research assessment based on a pilot Scorecard methodology for open government which includes a range of indicators relating to transparency, accountability, participation and open data. In 2014, we published the 'in law' assessment of UK open governance which is available here www.transparency.org.uk/open<http://www.transparency.org.uk/open> . This research roundtable is being convened to discuss the initial findings of the assessment into the second stage of the research - the 'in practice' assessment. The event will include research presentation and discussion on how effective are the UK's open governance arrangements are in practice. The research draws on a wide range of indicators, questionnaires, surveys and interviews.

The purpose of this pilot stage is to test and refine the standards, with the ultimate aim of developing an internationally comparable scorecard. The pilot research is being carried out in Ghana, Indonesia and Peru in addition to the UK.

We would like to invite you to join this meeting.
