WEBINAR SERIES: FUTURE OF OPEN DATA PORTALS

The European Data Portal (EDP) team is launching a webinar series to
discuss: The Future of Open Data Portals
[https://european-data-portal.gitlab.io/future-open-data-portals/].
This series will contain current best practices, experience and
opportunities for collective action to ensure open data portals remain
relevant and useful for the community they serve.

Traditionally, portals have looked at impact through the lens of the
number of datasets published or downloaded by users. The EDP team
believes that we need a shift in portal design and value proposition
from a tool for publishing, with search as an enabling feature, to a
community of like-minded parties, working with data. This requires new
concepts and ideas on how portals should be built, and which features
they should prioritise.

The Future of Open Data Portal series of eight biweekly 45-minute
webinars beginning at 17:00 CET, starting on 6 October 2020, features
speakers from the EDP team and the broader community. It will address
technical, human factors, funding and sustainability topics.
