academy [https://data.europa.eu/en/academy] hosted the webinar ‘Open
data maturity 2023: best practices across Europe‘ which highlighted
Slovakia's and Serbia's accomplishments in the field of open data.
With nearly 600 registrants, the event underscored the growing
interest and commitment to open data across the continent. An expert

especially in portal features. A Serbian representative delved into
their successful strategies for building political and community
support, and the implementation of robust processes that increased the
quality of their open data, aligning with the policy and quality
dimensions of the ODM methodology. 

 Following Serbia's insights, Slovakia [https://data.gov.sk/en]
shared their innovative approach, which included adopting an
open-source data pipeline from the Czech Republic to enhance metadata
quality. They also discussed their impact assessment methodology,
which has led to their notable 98% impact

score and aligns with the quality, portal, and impact dimensions of
the ODM methodology. These strategies have placed Slovakia at the
forefront of open data maturity. 

 The webinar wrapped up with an interactive Q&A session, providing an
opportunity for attendees to clarify their queries. Presentations from
both countries provided valuable insights into their strategies and
practices underpinning their success, emphasising the crucial roles of
effective policy, impactful portals, and quality data. The webinar not
