What is Public Innovation?
Public innovation is associated to the creation of public value in different area of the public policies, services, infraestructures and public management ((Moore, 1995: Torfing, 2016).
It is neccesary to distinguish between public innovation as innovation of politics and the public policy as innovation in the public administration. The first one is referred to the innovation in the processes and forms of representation and political decision making; the second one, is related to the forms of management and the provision of services of the public administrations from its role of actor, provider of economic, political and social resources and responsible for the design of new public policies.

Este curso analiza el desarrollo de la “Sociedad de la Información y el Conocimiento”, el impacto y la naturalización del uso de las TIC, y algunas tecnologías emergentes tales como Inteligencia Artificial, Big Data, Open Data y Blockchain, desde sus ventajas y sus desafíos.
Desde la óptica de lo conceptual y de la gestión, profundiza sobre el paradigma de “Gobierno Abierto” o “Estado Abierto” (G/EA), que pretende dar respuesta a la desconfianza ciudadana. Con base en las exigencias de transparencia, participación, colaboración y rendición de cuentas, el G/EA propone discursivamente la co-creación de las políticas públicas, incorporando las perspectivas de los destinatarios. En ellas, las herramientas TIC están muy presentes. En la práctica no sabemos aún cómo influye este enfoque en la calidad de la democracia y en los nuevos modos de hacer política.
Destinatarios:
El curso está dirigido, preferentemente, a egresados de ciencias sociales y políticas, comunicación y redes sociales, periodismo, carreras tecnológicas, archivistas, bibliotecarios, documentalistas y expertos en administración pública. También apunta a funcionarios que cumplan algunos de esos perfiles.

As governments seek to remodel and restyle their services, Digital Government is playing an increasingly central role. Issues such as Digital Democracy, the Digital Citizen, interoperability, e-identity and e-voting have become core elements in the development of public sector delivery. These issues together with the importance placed on Joined-up Government and Open Government are relevant at local, regional and central government, as well as at the supranational level such as the European Union. Digital Government encompasses more than just technology – it challenges the way in which public sector service providers and citizens interact. Democratic renewal, the transformation of service delivery, community leadership and citizenship integration are all key elements and Digital Government is also tightly related to legal, economical and organisational fields and as such holds a strong interdisciplinary status. We welcome contributions on any aspect of digital government research – both empirical and practical.
