247 proposals received for the EU Open Data Days!
From 23 – 25 November, the Publications Office of the European Union
hosts the first-ever EU Open Data Days
[https://op.europa.eu/en/web/euopendatadays], the free online event to
discuss and share best practices on open data and data visualisation.

Over the past few months, data enthusiasts have been submitting their
proposals to participate in this  event and contribute to shaping our
digital future with open data. The call for proposals received a total
of 247 submissions from 47 countries, from the United States to
Australia, from the Russian Federation to Chile. More than half (60%)
of the proposals came from the private sector, 14% from academia, and
13% from public administrations specifically, both at the national and
regional level.
