A joint event with COSPI
We are delighted to invite you to our “OSA: evidence and policymaking" event, which will provide an opportunity for our Network partners to get together in person and review our work to date, hear from Ofcom and look ahead to the next phase. In particular, we hope to facilitate discussions to allow civil society organisations, researchers and academics to share learnings from the first phase of the OSA’s implementation and to look ahead, identifying evidence and research gaps to fill and potential collaborations to fill them.
The event, kindly hosted by COSPI, will be held at their City St George’s University site at 33 Finsbury Square, London, EC2A 1PL, Room FSQ305, between 1:30-5pm followed by Network drinks after the event.
The venue is accessible but do let us know if you require any support or have any questions about that.
An agenda is below.
Please register to attend by 5pm on 8th July and we look forward to seeing you on the 10th!
