The Knesset of Israel launched the thematic hub entitled 'Transparency - the Next Generation' on 15 February 2021. The launch was conducted via a virtual event that saw the participation of an initial core group of transparency leads from the Chamber of Deputies of Brazil, House of Commons of Canada, Parliament of Cyprus, Bundestag of Germany, Parliament of Ghana, Hellenic Parliament of Greece, Chamber of Deputies of Uruguay and the Knesset. The meeting - aside from introducing the hub's concept and rationale - featured exploratory discussions on transparency developments and innovations and what could be next in the parliamentary transparency context. A follow up meeting is scheduled to take place in April that intends to focus on hub objectives, work planning and next steps. The hub is keen to see the participation of additional parliaments to the core group.
