Session

Let’s strengthen our open data offer to become a European trend-setter

  • Time: 11h00-12h30
  • Location: 6. FR0.01
  • Level: Beginner
  • Type: Workshop

Although municipalities, regions and federal government already have embedded the re-use of public sector information (PSI) in their strategy, the annual studies that assess the level of open data maturity in the EU Member States rank Belgium at the 17th place (http://bit.ly/ODM_19). The aim of the co-creation workshop is to gain insights into the development in the field of open data and to come up with bright and interesting ideas to improve this ranking and become a European trendsetter.
