Better Public Services: Networks

The networks below provide opportunities for knowledge-sharing and collaboration among Civil and Public Servants.

The Innovation Network supports the development of a culture of innovation across the Public Service. The membership is wide-ranging and the network's focus is on communicating key innovation messages, knowledge-sharing and building enthusiasm for innovation across the Public Service. The network also forms a mechanism to build skills in innovation and to provide tools and resources to members.

To find out more email innovation@per.gov.ie or apply to join the network via the online application form.

The Open Data Liaison Officers Network promotes transparency and collaboration by facilitating the publication of organisational data as Open Data. Supported by the Open Data Unit, this network empowers members with training and technical support.

Improving how the Public Service engages with its customers, and improving service design and delivery, is a core part of the government framework for Public Service Reform.

Other previously established transformation networks such as the Emerging Technology and Project Management networks are currently under review. The Public Service Transformation team will be in contact with members of these networks with an update in due course.
