Goals and Objectives

Collaboration and Knowledge Exchange

Promote collaboration and knowledge sharing between the University of Manchester (UOM) and the University of South Norway (USN).
Utilize UOM’s extensive expertise in areas such as public service modeling, personalized information, eParticipation, and AI/data analytics.
Combine USN’s strengths in public service digitization, democracy, and e-government to foster collaboration and create valuable synergies.

Addressing the Challenge of Personalized Information

Create solutions to deliver personalized information about Implementation Measures (IMs) to citizens.
Tackle the challenges posed by the diversity of ‘sub-cases’ within IMs, such as the differing requirements for similar public services.
Improve the efficiency of public service descriptions to prevent an overwhelming and unsustainable increase in the number of cases.

Policy Recommendations and Technical Solutions

Develop policy recommendations aimed at addressing the root causes of inefficiencies in providing personalized information.
Explore technical solutions, including enhancing or creating best practices for applying the Core Public Service Vocabulary (CPSV).
