Are you a student or academic? Sign up for the workshop ‘How to use
open data for your research’
On Thursday 19 October from 10.00 to 12.00 CET, data.europa.eu will
host its first workshop series on ‘How to use open data for your
research’. This series, designed for students and academics is also
open to anyone interested. The goal is to showcase the relevance and
importance of open data for academic purposes. During this workshop,
you will learn how to use open data from our portal
[https://data.europa.eu/data/datasets?locale=en&minScoring=0] for
research and get examples from universities that have already embraced
open data in their daily operations.

The workshop will start with an introduction by the Publications
Office of the EU [https://op.europa.eu/en/home] on open data and
data.europa.eu [https://data.europa.eu/en]. Following that, a hands-on
presentation will be given through the portal, demonstrating how to
efficiently search for specific datasets. Furthermore, three esteemed
universities -  KU Leuven [https://www.kuleuven.be/kuleuven],
University of Amsterdam [https://www.uva.nl/en], and University of
Naples [https://www.unior.it/en/university] L'Orientale
[https://www.unior.it/en/university]  - will present practical
examples of how open data can be used to conduct Research. 

These universities offer three distinct perspectives on using open
data in research. The KU Leuven Research Repository
[https://www.kuleuven.be/rdm/en/rdr] provides access to open research
data through their database, providing valuable resources to students.
The University of Amsterdam
[https://uba.uva.nl/en/support/open-data/linked-data/linked-data.html?cb]
offers  a practical example of how linked open data can drive
research [https://lod.uba.uva.nl/Cinema-Context/-/overview] and the
UniOR NLP Research Group
[https://sites.google.com/view/unior-nlp-research-group/home] of the
University of Naples L'Orientale will showcase a real-life example of
exploiting open data for applications.

Following the informative university presentations, a short practical
assignment will be given to help put the learnings into practice. To
wrap up the practical assignment, you will have the opportunity to
share your insights and ask your questions during the Q&A session.
