Institute for Regulatory Innovation, Delivery and Effectiveness (IRIDE)
The Institute for Regulatory Innovation, Delivery and Effectiveness (IRIDE) has been established by the EPLO to promote the effective and efficient delivery of good quality regulation on the basis of international good practices. It reflects an outcomes-focused, evidence-driven, and risk-based approach to regulation, regulatory practices, and public service, delivery.
IRIDE aims to contribute to improved effectiveness in achieving key regulatory outcomes, strengthened public trust, and greater efficiency for both public and private sectors. To this end:
a) It contributes to a better understanding of how regulatory systems function, and how regulatory objectives can be more effectively and efficiently achieved. It actively supports the dissemination of this knowledge among all stakeholders.
b) It offers support to governments and public administrations in achieving their objectives through the effective design and delivery of regulation.
c) It promotes innovative policies and instruments, as well as agile regulation capable of addressing ongoing and future challenges - in particular related to global emergencies such as climate change.
The administration
IRIDE is managed and administered by the Governing Board, its Director, who is in charge of IRIDE’s operations and the Academic Coordinator, who is responsible for its academic activities.
