Putting transparency to the test: evaluating FOI in practice

Join us to learn how we can effectively evaluate the implementation of access to information legislation. Beyond measuring how strong legislation is on paper, we want to know whether laws are working well in practice. We'll dive into what we already know and what needs to change to improve our understanding of how freedom of information works in the real world.

This event is part of the ATI community of practice, celebrating Right To Know day on September 28th. Catch up with the previous events in this series on climate and AI decision-making.
