Register now for our workshop: ‘How to use open data for your
research’
On 25 October, from 10:00 to 11:30 CEST, the data.europa academy
[https://data.europa.eu/en/academy] will host the workshop ‘How to
use open data for your research
[https://data.europa.eu/en/news-events/events/workshop-how-use-open-data-your-research-0]’
where participants can learn how to apply open data independently.
Although the workshop is tailored for academics and students, it is
suitable for all open data enthusiasts who are interested in using
open data.  

During the workshop, experts from the University of the Aegean
[https://www.aegean.edu/] in Greece will discuss both how to use open
data in research and how researching open data itself can drive
innovation and support decision-making. Additionally, experts from the
Open Data Institute [https://theodi.org/] will showcase the potential
of open data, guiding participants through the steps of a recent study
they conducted using open data, and presenting their findings. Using
real-world use cases and practical steps, participants will be able to
apply the knowledge gained in the workshop to their own academic
research process. The workshop will also include a hands-on
assignment, giving participants direct practical experience in
locating and using open data, with the help of datasets from the
data.europa portal [https://data.europa.eu/en].  

The event is part of a workshop series for using open data in
research. In October 2023, we organised the first workshop
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=la8RNawqpC4], where three
universities showed their perspectives on using open data for academic
purposes. In May 2024, the second workshop
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBOwiVSUq7I&t=1106s] took place,
where a use case in citizen science was presented.
