EU Open Data Days: what’s on the programme?
The first EU Open Data Days are gathering steam and the draft
programme [https://op.europa.eu/en/web/euopendatadays/programme] is
now available and filled with expert speakers in various thematic
sessions. Spread over three half-days, this fully online event will
take place from 23 - 25 November 2021, combining the EU DataViz
conference and the EU Datathon competition.

The first day will cast light on open data as the driving force for
shaping Europe’s digital future, including its challenges and
potential. The second day will highlight the importance of
communicating data efficiently using visualisations to convey the
right message and understand complex issues. Both will showcase best
practices and techniques to build data narratives and better serve
citizens.

The third and final day will be devoted to the EU Datathon’s finals.
The 9 finalists

teams in each of the three categories: A European Green Deal, An
economy that works for people, and A Europe fit for the digital age.
The thematic challenges will be introduced by an expert panel and the
event will close with an award ceremony.

The EU Open Data Days will feature experts from the EU and beyond,
from academia, and organisations from the public and private sectors.
Participants will have a chance to get valuable insights into open
data and data-visualisation practices and techniques from
world-renowned speakers, such as Nuria Oliver, Alberto Cairo, Ravi
Kumar and others.
