Events at Harvard

The Program on Networked Governance is a “National Center” of the National Science Foundation, whose mission is to reinforce the research agenda of meeting the challenges of integrating information and communication technologies. The center serves the following functions: it serves as a clearinghouse for digital government research, practice, and innovation; it acts as a meeting point for technical and social science researchers, government practitioners and related private sector actors; it supports human resource development through workshops for cross-sectoral groups, education for graduate and executive students, and development of teaching tools and resources; and it advances knowledge through all of these attributes as well as through longitudinal, cross-disciplinary, problem-oriented research.
