Background
Code for NL is the Dutch community of people who work together on a fair and inclusive digital government and society. Our goal is the successful digital transformation of government and society as a whole. Open collaboration in line with public values is central to this.
Code for NL originated from Waag Futurelab and governing partner of the international Code for All network.
Unconference
We see that there are many initiatives, projects and organizations within and outside the government that work on goals that fall under the heading of Public Tech. We believe there are opportunities to collaborate more strategically with each other so that we can better achieve our goals. That is why we want to get to know people, initiatives and organizations better in an open unconference setting, to see how we can collaborate on content.
What is Public Tech
Public Tech is (open) technology in which public values, such as privacy, autonomy and transparency, and public interests are the starting points. Public Tech supports the functioning of a democratic society in which people can meet each other freely and safely.
