Implementamos a citação do ”motivo para comemorar” na nossa reunião semanal e descobrimos que temos muitas conquistas para celebrar.

Mas ainda precisamos de mais! Tem esse perfil e quer se unir a esse encontro? Venha fazer parte desse time especial de voluntários. Estamos precisando da sua capacidade de tornar protótipos em plataformas, aplicativos, movimentos e negócios reais.

Não tem esse perfil? Tudo bem, você pode encaminhar esse email para um amigo ou contar pra gente qual foi o seu motivo para celebrar da semana passada. Que tal? Compartilha com a gente o que você fez de legal para o mundo ou o que o mundo fez de legal pra você! Já ficaremos felizes em saber 🙂

Onde, como e quando acontece o Hackathon?

O processo é simples:

Você se inscreve para participar de forma presencial ou virtual;
Nós selecionados os perfis que mais se encaixam aos projetos dos Labbers;
Escrevemos para você e contamos um pouco sobre cada iniciativa participante do Lab 2015;
Quem participar presencialmente também vai ter a chance de ouvir o pitch de cada iniciativa do Lab 2015;
Aí você aponta com qual (ou quais) iniciativa (s) tem interesse em colaborar e começa a ajudar :))

Parceria pelo Governo Aberto/Open Government Partnership: Chamada de Propostas de Pesquisa até 05 de Agosto

The Open Government Partnership Support Unit invites research proposals on the commitments made by participating countries in their National Action Plans.

Six grants of EUR 2500 each will be awarded and the lead authors of the three best papers will be invited to present their work at the 2015 OGP Global Summit in Mexico.

This research is supported by a grant of the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) Canada.

Details:

http://www.opengovpartnership.org/sites/default/files/attachments/Invitation%20for%20research%20proposals%20on%20OGP.pdf

Areas of research

With 65 participating countries and over 2000 commitments made in the OGP National Action Plans (NAPs), there is a wealth of information that needs to be further analyzed to understand trends across countries or themes and identify opportunities to deepen and inform the work of OGP and its participating countries.

All ideas are welcome as long as the proposed topic has the potential to inform the work of the Open Government Partnership and the findings can be used for further research, action or advocacy. This is an opportunity for researchers to explore projects on OGP beyond areas that have been covered previously by others.

Proposals are being requested in two broad categories:

A. Research that makes use of existing OGP data, including the NAPs, IRM data and the OGP Explorer for cross-thematic or cross country analysis. Data visualizations are encouraged.

B. Preliminary research to help OGP understand its impact in participating countries. Proposals that present a framework and concrete example of how OGP can capture its contribution both at the country and at the initiative levels are encouraged.

Grant details

A total of 6 grants of EUR 2500 each will be awarded. Four will be awarded for proposals under category A above and two for those under category B. Entries will be chosen based on the selection criteria described below. The selected papers will be disseminated through OGP networks and published on the OGP website. A jury will select the three best papers across the two categories and the winners will receive funding for the lead author to attend and present their findings at the 2015 OGP Global Summit in Mexico.

Suggested topics for research and information on the selection criteria, application process and timelines can be found in the request for proposals.

Deadline for submitting proposals: 5pm GMT on or before 5th August 2015.

Questions can be sent to: shreya.basu@opengovpartnership.org

The Lincoln Institute of Land Policy invites applications from academic researchers working on issues related to Municipal Fiscal Health

The Lincoln Institute of Land Policy cordially invites applications from academic researchers working on issues related to Municipal Fiscal Health. The ability of local governments to provide vital public goods and services to their citizens, and to prepare for an urban future, depends greatly on their fiscal situation. In cities and towns around the world, diminishing revenues, the increasing costs of providing public goods and services, mounting historical obligations, and increasing responsibilities imposed both by higher-level governments and local citizens join to place considerable stress on the fiscal health of municipal governments. In an effort to provide cities with the fiscal tools and strategies needed to fund their critical role in society, the Lincoln Institute seeks research that addresses the challenge of promoting the fiscal health of municipal governments at all levels. Research topics might include, but are not limited to:

Local Revenues and the Significance of the Property Tax
Intersections of Planning and Public Finance
Land-based Fiscal Instruments to Support Infrastructure Investment
Trends in Local Revenue Sources
Efforts to Measure Fiscal Health of Cities and Towns
The Impact of State and Federal Decisions on Local Fiscal Health
Innovative Management of Local Debt and Pension Obligations

This fellowship program helps to promote international scholarly dialogue on the fiscal health of the world’s cities and towns, and further Lincoln Institute’s mission to be a leading center for tax and land related policy throughout the world.

Applications are due by email on September 30, 2015.
