Best practices around Europe: Insights from front runners in Open Data
Maturity
The Open Data Best Practices in Europe report
[https://data.europa.eu/sites/default/files/report/2023%20Open%20Data%20Best%20Practice%20in%20Europe.pdf]
puts a spotlight on countries that have significantly improved their
scores in the Open Data Maturity (ODM)
[https://data.europa.eu/en/publications/open-data-maturity] assessment
of 2023 and identifies the drivers for their success. This
benchmarking exercise is performed by data.europa.eu
[https://data.europa.eu/en], to evaluate the maturity of the
participating countries in the field of open data. In 2023, a total of
35 countries participated in the assessment, including the 27 EU
Member states, three European Free Trade Association countries, and
five candidate countries. 

In this report, the countries that are identified as the
fastest-growing participants in their 2023 maturity score are
respectively Portugal, Serbia, and Slovakia. These countries were
asked via a survey to share their strategies on the four dimensions of
ODM: policy, impact, portal, and quality. Their insightful learnings
are collected into a comprehensive overview that can serve as a
learning point for other countries striving to advance their own
maturity score.  

The report displays the four ODM dimensions accompanied with insights
from the front runner countries, making it easy for other countries to
select which topic they would like to focus their improvement on. The
report contributes to the goal of data sharing across countries, by
making these maturity improvement options publicly available. 

Although there may be differences in approaches, these three countries
significantly increased their total score in one year, showing there
are multiple ways to achieve open data maturity. Access our report
