Interdisciplinary Workshop: PoliInformatics of Lawmaking

August 29-30, 2017 Bainbridge Island WA (a short boat trip from Seattle)

Application deadline: January 31, 2017

PoliInformatics refers to innovative uses of government data to address important questions of politics and public policy. The PoliInformatics Research Coordination Network (PI-NET) is holding its second workshop on the PoliInformatics of Lawmaking in late summer 2017. This workshop is an opportunity to share and brainstorm research ideas, possibly leading to future collaborations. Social scientists, information and computer scientists, and journalists are encouraged to apply.
 
We invite proposals for innovative papers, datasets, and applications that exploit government data sources to advance basic research, transparency and public understanding. We define lawmaking to include legislating, regulating and jurisprudence at the subnational, national and international levels. Proposals from interdisciplinary teams are especially encouraged.

The application deadline is January 31, 2017.  Participants will be notified of acceptance by February 15. Travel and accommodations will be covered for at least one participant for each accepted proposal.
