Data.europa.eu for journalists and researchers
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 [https://data.europa.eu/en]. The new
portal, brought to you by the Publications Office of the European
Union [https://op.europa.eu/], 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. 

The datasets and available content serve many uses and stakeholders.
If you are a journalist or researcher, the portal can be valuable to
you in particular through:
•    trustworthy information for your work;
•    insights on public sector information from European
countries and beyond;
•    information on the latest developments in the field; 
•    access to data resources that help to create content such as
visualisations and analyses; and
•    ideas for improvement of the re-use of public data resources
through extensive studies.

You, on the other hand, can contribute to data.europa.eu by informing
the community and sparking user engagement by sharing content, and
leading the discussion around public data resources and its reuse.
