Monthly Seminar Series
During the academic year, the Center for Information Policy and Electronic Government together with the School of Public Policy of the University of Maryland will present a monthly series of seminars to explore the intersections between information studies and public policy.
The seminars, which seek to promote collaboration between students and researchers in these two complimentary fields of research, will take place 12:15-1:30 on the third Monday of every month during the academic year, alternating venues between the School of Public Policy and the College of Information Studies.
