The opening up of the Helsinki Region
Five years ago, four Finish cities decided to work together and to communally start to open up their data. Since 2011 the shared portal of these cities (Helsinki, Vantaa, Espoo and Kauniainen) has grown to 1,200 Open Data records in a number of fields. To illustrate the diversity, information on all concerts of the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra since 1882, the investments of the city of Vantaa and all food establishments in Helsinki are all to be found on the portal.

Europe's archives are opening up
The archival institutions in Europe hold literally millions and millions of documents with high-quality information on all possible subjects.

On time with Open Data
The time is long gone by when train travellers had to look at a board to see what time their train will leave. Nowadays, modern day travellers have a suite of applications at their disposal which can tell them how to get from A to B with the press of a button. These applications tend to become more and more customised to the needs of the user, a customisation for which the transport providers depend on the creativity of the developers. The Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) wants to offer the best services to their clients and is convinced this is best achieved by co-creation and data science. To

Big Data for the Common Good
The Frankfurt Big Data Lab and ODBMS.org are working together with the Centre for Entrepreneurship & Technology (CET) at UC Berkeley for the creation of project proposals for ' Big Data for the Common Good'. The aim of this corporation is to stimulate and support the creation of 'Collider' projects in this theme to be submitted at the CET. If selected, these projects will be implemented within the CET Collider context. The concept of a Collider is a place where students, researchers, investors, entrepreneurs and industry leaders can "collide" to create unexpected outcomes. These unexpected
