i-LAB Public Innovation and Artificial Intelligence Lab
i-LAB Public Innovation and Artificial Intelligence Lab is an initiative that seeks to promote applied research and the use of digital technologies to develop tools that bring citizens closer to government authorities. With the objective of democratizing research, i-LAB links scientific studies with potential sources of funding. In addition, interested citizens can submit their research ideas to solve public problems, which are voted on through their website. The ideas that receive the most votes are analyzed by a panel of experts to evaluate their possible implementation. This laboratory also publishes studies and offers online courses to train citizens on different topics.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
