With Irène Bouhadana, he created in 2016 the Academic days on Open government and Digital Issues
During the event, Irène Bouhadana and William Gilles proclaimed 10 principles for an effective open government. From their international experience (Europe, Africa, North and South America) came the need to work on the effectiveness of both open governments and the law, having regularly noted the differences between the affirmation of principles and their implementation.
The 10 principes for an effective government are available on 8 languages (French, English, Portuguese, Spanish, Greek, Czech) at :

The Academic days on Open Government and Digital Issues are organized every year in Paris, with sessions in English and French. In 2022, there was more than 100 speakers coming from 42 countries.
The next academic days are scheduled on November 7 and 8, 2023 in Paris (Sorbonne).
