Part 6
11:30 - 13:15	6.B1. Brainstorming Session. Openness of Regional Authorities: Approaches, Practices, Development of Accountability
	Organizers :  Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation
The analysis by the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation showed the transparency of Russia’s federal Government is purely nominal. Although Government bodies are quite successful in providing information proactively, the biggest challenges occur when they interact with citizens, directly or indirectly. At the same time, building a dialogue between Russian people and the Government strongly contributes to development of political, legal, financial and economic culture, and increases the level of citizens’ confidence in the government. At the session, federal Government officials will tell about best practices of transparency and discuss the following topics with experts: - How does the “infrastructure” of Government transparency works (offline and online services, big data, human capital)? How justified are investments in information resources of Government bodies? - How to assess the effect of transparency? Who benefits from transparent Government? - How can Government become more transparent? What are the key barriers and constraints?  Local Openness Practices   , Moderators : ,   ,   , Openness of regional power: the danger of imitation   ,

	Organizers :  Research Group “Designing the Future”
An important condition for the successful development of regional and city strategies is the use of social forecasting mechanisms that combine an analysis of the expected impact of technological solutions on social life with an assessment of the prospects for the development of social innovations, the possibilities of implementing novel humanitarian and social technologies. Thus, the development of an ecosystem of social innovations is becoming increasingly important, the actors of which are universities, charitable foundations, centers of innovation in the social sphere, funds of local communities. The role of such mechanisms for financing social innovations as venture philanthropy, investments into social impact, proactive (participatory) budgeting, mechanisms of public-state partnership is growing.   Technological waves   ,   ,   , Moderators : , Moderators : ,   ,
