Information about the project
GovCampus: A hub for knowledge networking
GovCampus is a new type of public-purpose platform for "connected government and public innovation" providing an integrated learning channel based around podcast interviews and participatory events. It's built upon the legacy of the successful US-based Gov 2.0 Radio podcast together with over five years of journey by the Cofluence team and their public innovation networks in North America, Europe/EMEA, and Asia/Pacific as well as among international multi-lateral agencies and civic networks. In collaboration with academia, public sector leaders and practitioners, the GovCampus mission is to enable a more mindful, strategic and collaborative approach to open, social knowledge sharing. It will support policy-makers and public service practitioners in: • communicating their priorities and learnings in fresh, engaging ways • more easily contributing to - as well as consuming - collective knowledge • leveraging the ’public value’ of their work through accessing case studies of best practice as well as emergent practice The GovCampus social knowledge initiative is being built in alliance with successful programs like Gov 2.0 Radio and GovCamp, together with over five years of journey by the Cofluence team and their public innovation networks. With over 1.7m podcast downloads, it reaches government practitioners, civic leaders and public innovators across the world discussing how to leverage their knowledge, skills and resources for a more connected public sphere.
