In this digital era, data visualisation is a critical asset and essential tool that allows people to grasp information in a second. This was also true during the first waves of the COVID-19 pandemic where open governmental data became crucial to sustaining and improving people’s quality of life. In this webinar, Barnaby Skinner highlights a spectrum of impactful to less efficient examples of data repositories during the COVID-19 pandemic and shares a set of guidelines consisting of nine recommendations for data sharing policies by governmental bodies.

Furthermore, watch the session on 'The European Drug Report: using an open Data approach to improve data visualisation' where experts from the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction discuss their experiences with data-driven approaches. They explore how open data has reshaped their reporting strategies, introducing more interactive visualisations. The webinar will also highlight the challenges and opportunities encountered in becoming a more data-centric organization.
