The Record - The Guthi Act amendment bill may end the Guthi system altogether | The Record

Read the most recent opinion piece by our PhD student Shobhit Shakya where he criticises the Guthi Act amendment bill in Nepal which can bring the end to Guthis. These community organisations have played a crucial role in enabling citizen participation in the matters of governance and economy, and have largely been responsible for the maintenance and reconstruction of different traditional public infrastructures.

DigiGovLab

A high-level delegation from Mexico, consisting of members from CITNOVA, came to discuss the work of DigiGovLab and potential cooperation opportunities as part of their project, Public Policy and Digital Government in Hidalgo.

Yesterday we had the honour to host the steering group meeting of Sohjoa Baltic project where we discussed the current state of project activities and budgetary questions. After the meeting, we had a chance to see ISEAUTO which is developed by TalTech - Tallinn University of Technology and AuVeTech.

We had a productive discussion during the Sohjoa Baltic Steering Group meeting at Tallinna Tehnikaülikool Ragnar Nurkse Department of Innovation and Governance❗️ We were also impressed to see ISEAUTO an Estonian autonomous bus. Can't wait for it's market availability :)

Ringa Raudla: kas nullbaasiline eelarvestamine teeb tõesti elu kergemaks?

Mis muutuks, kui riigieelarve koostamine toimuks igal aastal nullist? Kas see tähendab tõesti seda, et varasemate aastate eelarvetega ei pea arvestama ja kuluridasid on võimalik vabalt ümber tõsta? Või tähendab see seda, et kogu protsess muutub palju keerulisemaks? Mida Eestil oleks siinkohal maailmapraktikast õppida? Loe lähemalt professor Ringa Raudla artiklit nullbaasil eelarvestamisest ja saad teada.

heureka.postimees.ee Kuigi igal aastal eelarvega puhtalt lehelt alustamine võib näida atraktiivne, muudab see riigi rahakoti haldamise siiski oluliselt keerulisemaks, kirjutab Ragnar Nurkse Innovatsiooni ja Valitsemise Instituudi fiskaalse valitsemise professor Ringa Raudla.

On this Friday our MA students of Technology Governance and Digital Transformation programme will be defending their MA theses. The defences will start at 10AM in room SOC-418. All who are interested, are welcomed to join and listen to the defences.

Sellel reedel kaitsevad oma magistritöid tehnoloogia valitsemise ja digitaalsete muutuste magistrikava üliõpilased. Kaitsmised toimuvad ruumis SOC-418 algusega kell 10.00. Kaitsmisi on võimalik tulla kuulama kõigil huvilistel.

6. juunil algusega kell 10:00, ruumis SOC-418 on toimumas avaliku sektori innovatsiooni ja juhtimise õppekava magistritööde kaitsmised RNI-s. Kõigil huvilistel on võimalik tulla kaitsmisi kuulama.

Ralf-Martin Soe: Tark linn on avatud uutele lahendustele ja teeb andmepõhiseid otsuseid

Kõige värskemas Mente et Manu numbris räägib Dr. Ralf-Martin Soe targast linnast ja teekonnast, mis viis Euroopa Komisjoni otsuseni rahastada targa linna kompetentsikeskuse loomist Tallinna Tehnikaülikooli juurde. Ühtlasi on juttu sellest, kuidas loodav kompetentsikeskus võib Tallinna ja Helsingi elanike elu tulevikus mõjutama hakata.

Today we launch a new course - Creating Innovation Capacities in Government - that explores cutting-edge theories and global and Estonian best-practices as well as key challenges in fostering public sector innovation, that is meaningful improvements in governance, policies and services. Stay tuned for the updates and insight over the next month!

Strateegia "Eesti 2035" raames lõi Nurkse instituut täna kaasa töötoas, mis arutas Eesti tulevikusihtide üle. Kas Eesti võiks aastal 2035 olla julge poliitikalahendusi piloteeriv riik ja uudsete lahenduste turvaline häll?

#eesti2035

Täna oli meie bakalaureuse teise kursuse üliõpilastel poliitikaanalüüsi tehnikate seminar, mille raames tegid nad ettekandeid teemal "Eesti laste ülekaal - peamised probleemid ja võimalikud lahendused". Üliõpilastele andis tagasisidet endine tervise- ja tööminister ja Riigikogu rahanduskomisjoni esimees ning praegune Miltton Nordics partner Rannar Vassiljev.

DigiGovLab

Last Friday, a group of 15 health experts from Austria came to Estonia to learn more about e-Estonia. Prof. Dr. Dr. Robert Krimmer of the DigiGovLab shared and offered insights into Estonia's e-Health and e-Government systems at the residency of the Austrian Ambassador in Tallinn.

Today we launch a new course - Creating Innovation Capacities in Government - that explores cutting-edge theories and global and Estonian best-practices as well as key challenges in fostering public sector innovation, that is meaningful improvements in governance, policies and services. Stay tuned for the updates and insight over the next month!

Congratulations to Dirk Fischer who successfully defended his PhD thesis "Systemic Stability and Algorithm-Based Policy Interventions" ("Süsteemi stabiilsus ja algoritmipõhised poliitikameetmed"), supervisors Prof. Rainer Kattel and Dr. Antonius J.H. Notermans. Special thanks to Prof. David Lamas and Prof. Aneta B. Spendzharova who served as opponents of the thesis.

Uuring: suurem osa e-residente on pärit niigi digitaalselt arenenud riikidest

Eesti e-residentsuse ühe positiivse aspektina tuuakse välja seda, et see võimaldab digitaalselt vähem arenenud riikide kodanikele ligipääsu Eesti e-teenustele. Kes aga tegelikult e-residentsust taotlevad? Hiljuti avaldatud artikkel, mille autoriteks on Piia Tammpuu (TÜ ühiskonnateaduste instituut) ja RND prof. Anu Masso, selgitas välja, et sellistest riikidest pärit e-residendid moodustavad kõigest 10% kõigist e-residentidest.

Prof. Anu Masso: «Kokkuvõttes juhime oma analüüsiga Eesti e-residentsuse programmi ja selle pakutavate hüvede puhul tähelepanu digitaalse ebavõrdsusega seotud aspektidele ning tõstatame küsimuse, kuivõrd e-residentsuse taoline algatus aitab pikemas perspektiivis vähendada või pigem taasluua globaalset digitaalset ebavõrdsust erinevate riikide kodanike vahel.»

Pikemalt loe ajalehe Postimees Heureka portaalist.

heureka.postimees.ee Kuigi e-residentsuse puhul rõhutatakse tihtipeale selle eelist nende riikide kodanike jaoks, kelle riikide e-areng on madalam, moodustavad sellised inimesed kõigist e-residentidest hetkel vaid umbes kümnendiku.

Tomorrow Dirk Fischer will be defending his PhD thesis "Systemic Stability and Algorithm-Based Policy Interventions" ("Süsteemi stabiilsus ja algoritmipõhised poliitikameetmed"). The defence will take place in room SOC-310, at 15.00. All who are interested, are welcomed to join and listen to the defence.

TalTech saab rekordilise 32 miljonilise rahasüsti targa linna arendamiseks

2014. aastal algas protsess, et luua Tallinnasse piiriülene targa linna kompetentsikeskus koostöös Aalto Ülikooli/Aalto University, Forum Virium Helsinki ja Majandus- ja Kommunikatsiooniministeeriumiga. Eile sai ületatud aga oluline teetähis. Nimelt tuli Euroopa Komisjonist positiivne otsus, mille raames Euroopa Komisjon ja Eesti riik panustavad kokku ca 32 miljonit eurot antud keskuse loomiseks ja targa linna lahenduste arendamiseks.
