Second webinar in the EU Datathon series
On 12 May, the EU Datathon 2021 [http://op.europa.eu/eudatathon]
hosted their second webinar. Per Nymand-Andersen from the European
Central Bank [https://www.ecb.europa.eu/] presented this dataset,
which addresses challenge 2: ‘An economy that works for the
people’. 

The EU Datathon is an annual open data competition open to data
enthusiasts worldwide. To enter the competition, participants are
invited to send ideas for applications that use open datasets and
address one of three thematic challenges, aligned with the priorities
of the European Commission. 

CHALLENGE 2: ‘AN ECONOMY THAT WORKS FOR THE PEOPLE’

The EU’s unique social market economy enables economies to grow
whilst also reducing poverty and inequality. With Europe on a stable
footing, the economy can fully respond to the needs of people in the
EU. The second challenge of the EU Datathon specifically invites open
data solutions that show how open data can support this effort. 

Examples of solution are applications (or services) for the public,
for businesses, or for public administrations that create a fairer
economy and monetary union, that boost investment and help address
unemployment. To address this challenge, participants should make use
of at least one dataset from data.europa.eu
[https://data.europa.eu/euodp/en/home] (i.e. EU Open Data Portal and
the European Data Portal) and combine it with any other publicly
available dataset(s).
