Topic
Open Data platforms, transparency registers, specific portals – in recent years, public bodies have increasingly published information on the internet proactively. The resulting diversity does not always mean that administrations and users can navigate through it. For the symposium we have invited international experts who will provide us with an overview. Their perspectives will also give us interesting insights into successful Open Data strategies and best practices.
The symposium will be held in English and German. Simultaneous interpreting will be provided. Everybody is cordially invited to take part in the discussion. As seating is limited, please register as soon as possible. Registration is on “first come, first serve” basis. The organizer does not provide accommodation for participants and does not reimburse any travel expenses. Participants are kindly requested to make their own travel arrangements.
We intend to make a list of participants available to all attendees. When registering, please let us know whether we have your permission to include your name and institution in the list. You can find further information on data processing on our website.
