Data.europa.eu for data scientists and developers
Part 2 of the series: Functionalities of the portal
In April this year, the EU Open Data Portal and the European Data Portal consolidated into one service providing access to European data under the name of data.europa.eu. This portal, brought to you by the Publications Office of the European Union, provides access to public data resources from EU institutions and agencies, EU Member States, and other European countries. Currently, you can find over 1 million datasets, from 36 countries, along 13 thematic categories on data.europa.eu.
If you are a data scientist or developer, the portal can help you:
- find data to build and develop innovative products and services,
- become inspired to create data-driven solutions as seen in the news, data stories, events, and use cases,
- feel empowered to start using open data and reap the benefits, and
- connect with others in the field to exchange knowledge and best practices.
