From high-value datasets to reusing data in practice: Discover our
June webinars
During the month of June, data.europa Academy
[https://data.europa.eu/en/academy] hosted three webinars bringing
together more than 1 000 participants. These webinars were hosted for
data-providers and users who want to extend their knowledge by joining
the discussion on open data practices. 

Firstly, on 14 June, the data.europa.eu team hosted the webinar
‘Exploring the potential of high-value datasets
[https://data.europa.eu/en/news-events/events/webinar-exploring-potential-high-value-datasets-connecting-real-use-cases]’,
which started off with a presentation on the findings from
the High-value datasets (HVD) best practices in Europe
[https://eceuropaeu.sharepoint.com/] report. After presenting the key
highlights of the report, a roadmap is suggested for the Member states
to comply with HVD regulations. The webinar continued with
presentations from Czechia and Finland, who shared their experience
regarding HVDs, but also what challenges they encountered. Finally,
the Compass Gruppe [https://compass.at/en] showed how they use HVDs
in business models. For those interested in more details, is it

the topic ‘The European Drug Report: using an open data approach to
improve data visualisation

insightful information on how a strategy that included an open data
approach has transformed their publications. During the webinar, the
