Our academy courses that teach about how open data makes an impact
Our data.europa.eu Academy [https://data.europa.eu/en/academy] offers
a wide spectrum of courses on how open data can help make an impact.
Open data can help address public challenges such as healthcare,
climate change, and urban planning. It enables informed
decision-making and targeted interventions, like with COVID-19
measures. On our Academy page [https://data.europa.eu/en/academy], it
is possible to filter per theme, where it shows eight courses on the
Impact theme. 

For beginners, we have developed the courses ‘Introducing open data
[https://data.europa.eu/en/academy/introducing-open-data]’ and
‘Introducing data visualisation
[https://data.europa.eu/en/academy/introducing-data-visualisation]’.
With different e-learning lessons and webinars to teach users about
how open data can foster innovation and entrepreneurship, but also how
you can make a compelling case with data visualisation. For our
developers or entrepreneurs, the course ‘Creating your business with
open data
[https://data.europa.eu/en/academy/creating-your-business-open-data]’
will help you understand the full value of open data, like with our
lesson on ‘Managing change in open data
[https://data.europa.eu/elearning/en/module15/#/id/co-01]’.  

Users who are more advanced, can follow our lesson ‘Understanding
public data demand in the public sector
[https://data.europa.eu/en/academy/understanding-public-data-demand-public-sector]’,
part of the course ‘Understanding data governance with open data
[https://data.europa.eu/en/academy/understanding-data-governance-open-data]’.
The value of open data in the public sector is further explained with
our course on ‘Measuring the impact of open data
[https://data.europa.eu/en/academy/measuring-impact-open-data]’. New
content was added here, as the data.europa team hosted the webinar
‘Open data maturity 2023: best practices across Europe
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEFfp1OcBeY]’ in February, where
Serbia and Slovakia shared their open data experiences. 

Other courses that are of interest to become an expert in using open
data for impact are ‘Moving towards data spaces

‘Including data in your communication
[https://data.europa.eu/en/academy/including-data-your-communication]’,
and ‘Inspiring through data visualisation
[https://data.europa.eu/en/academy/inspiring-through-data-visualisation]’.
