For (future) data translators within government agencies

For governments, it is essential to access, combine and leverage data. This is the only way they can create a meaningful impact for their inhabitants in the face of increasingly large and complex societal challenges. That is precisely where this program will support you as a professional. Learn from leading experts what digitization can mean for you. And how your policy topic can be designed accordingly.

Purpose of this program Digitalization for Government?

In recent years, we have seen technological changes with increasing impact follow each other faster and faster. One major reason: datafication. Datafication is also a driver of major changes in central government. Data translators are needed to guide these changes in a sustainable way. Data translators are bridge builders who can link domain-oriented tasks and departmental goals to usable datasets and technologies.

What you will learn during Digitalization for Government

The program is intended for employees of government institutions; ministries, provinces, municipalities, but also, for example, water boards and environmental services. The program offers program leaders and strategists from the public sector the opportunity to learn about the role of digitization in economic and social transitions. In addition, you will learn how to apply data for policy issues. The impact of new (digital) technologies such as artificial intelligence and, in particular, generative AI, will also be part of this course.

The program consists of 10 knowledge-based lecture days. The morning is spent on theory and the afternoon you work on a project and/or practical application. Government case histories are central to this: both lecturers and participants contribute cases:

  1. AI and Machine Learning;
  2. Security, Risks and Resilience;
  3. Data Strategy and Data Governance;
  4. Ethics;
  5. Visualization;
  6. Data Engineering and Open Data;
  7. Process Mining + Entrepreneurship/innovation.

During the final session, you will pitch your project in the form of a management recommendation. And the certificate ceremony will take place 👨‍🎓👩‍🎓
