Open Legislative Data is a term mixing Open Data (the idea that certain data should be freely available to everyone to use and republish as they wish) & Legislative Studies (the academic study of parliaments and legislators).

The Law Factory is a French group comprising hacktivists (Regards Citoyens) and academics (Centre d’études européennes & médialab Sciences Po). We are organizing a conference in Paris about Parliamentary informatics.

The conference has two aims:

• - 

  To discuss the latest developments regarding parliamentary informatics, eg. parliamentary open data, computer analysis of parliamentary activities, e-parliament… 
• - 

  To assemble two groups that usually do not communicate: the academic world of legislative studies and individuals and organizations from across the open data and parliamentary informatics spectrum.

We welcome different kind of presentations from individual or groups, from academics or hacktivists… or both!

There will be two ways that you can participate:

• - 

  Lightning presentations (5 minutes) 
• - 

  Talks (10-15 minutes) 

You’ll find an on-line application form here:
