A decade of progress: The 2024 Open Data Maturity Report is now
available!
We are happy to announce that, for the tenth time, the annual report
measuring the level of open data maturity (ODM) across Europe has been
published
[https://data.europa.eu/en/publications/open-data-maturity/2024]. This
year, the EU-27 countries accomplished a maturity score of 83%! Back
in 2015, when the first assessment was conducted, the EU average was
just 46%, so this shows great improvement. Seventeen of the
participating countries increased their year-on-year maturity score
from 2023 to 2024, marking great progress. We can proudly state that
we moved from 30 participating countries in 2015 to a total of 34
countries in 2024, covering more of open data maturity in Europe.  

The 2024 assessment includes 27 EU Member States, three European Free
Trade Association
[https://www.efta.int/about-efta/european-free-trade-association]
(EFTA) countries (Iceland, Norway, and Switzerland) and four candidate
countries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, and
Ukraine). The most mature countries in the EU-27 are FRANCE (100%),
POLAND (98%) and SLOVAKIA (96%). The most mature EFTA country is
NORWAY (89%), and of the candidate countries, this is UKRAINE (97%).
Let’s also give a spotlight to our biggest climbers: LATVIA (+10
percentage points), SERBIA (+9 percentage points), and CROATIA (+9
percentage points). 

The Open Data Maturity (ODM) assessment is a benchmarking exercise
performed by the Publications Office [https://op.europa.eu/en/] of the
European Union and the Directorate General for Communications
Networks, Content and Technology (DG CNECT)
[https://commission.europa.eu/about-european-commission/departments-and-executive-agencies/communications-networks-content-and-technology_en].
Participating countries complete a self-assessment survey that
measures the year-on-year progress in making public sector information
available and stimulating reuse. With a slight update on the
methodology to include the latest developments, the assessment was
performed again on the policy, portal, quality and impact
dimensions.
