免费shadowsock二维码The Centre for Technology Policy Research (CTPR) was co-founded by Jerry Fishenden and Graham Harrop. It operated from 2009 to 2013 as a co-operative of various organisations, researchers, policymakers, politicians and companies interested in ensuring that technology is better understood and exploited across public, private and voluntary sector boundaries. It undertook privately commissioned research and published both private and public documents, informing the discourse on how to improve public sector use of technology in particular.

The site has now been decommissioned – if you were looking for it, you will have been redirected here. Below are some of the public documents that CTPR developed.
