Data Opener Central Europe

Project Content

All over Europe, public and private organisations are collecting data that should actually be freely accessible as open data and usable for citizens and companies. But, the public sector often still lacks an understanding with regard to the benefits of publishing and working with open data. They also lack the skills to exploit these advantages, for example by updating data regularly or in real time. The DoorCE project will support partners from seven Central European countries in the provision of high-quality, dynamic data and make these accessible to all citizens. Open Data Hubs will be set up and provide innovative digital services for a variety of users. The project partners will build knowledge and capacity in the field of open data, embed this topic in their structures and support innovators, small businesses and public administration and create user-friendly tools for digitisation and data management. A toolbox offers concrete organisational assistance and strategic guidance as well as a technical solution that can also be used by non-experts (no/low-code approach).

Objectives

The aim of DoorCE is to make municipalities, districts and regions fit for using and providing open data by developing an open data package for the public sector. This includes a strategy for the anchoring of open data in the administration as well as a toolbox for the provision and use (citizens, businesses) of open data with corresponding guidance and training.
