Dear Sir/Miss, my name is Maja Pozvek and I am a Master's student of Public Policy & Human Development at United Nations University/Maastricht University in Maastricht, the Netherlands. I am currently working on my Master's thesis proposal in which I am planning to research the use of open government data and its effects on society, particularly on citizen engagement and political participation, in a specific case. As I have yet to determine the details I decided to get in touch with you as you might advise me how to put my research to a good use. More often than not Master's theses end up being an end in itself, and while I realize it is a limited piece of work, I have certain resources (namely time and the support of UN research staff) that I would prefer to put to a good use. I was considering working on the case of my home country, Slovenia, as there is a considerable amount of progress to be done when it comes to open government data, but perhaps it would be wiser to select a country/city/etc. with a functioning open government data platform so that I could establish its effects. However, I am not limited neither by the government nor by the topic. If there is an ongoing project that you run or are aware of, perhaps I could contribute to that in a way. If there is a piece of a puzzle that I could contribute, please let me know. If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you for your help and kind regards, Maja Pozvek
