Data without borders: discover the role of non-EU countries in
European data initiatives
Want to learn more about the role of non-EU member states within the
European open data ecosystem? Join us on 10 July, from 10:00 to 11:30
CEST, where we will host a webinar together with experts from Ukraine
and Serbia to explore how non-EU countries actively contribute to
European open data ecosystems. As open data plays an increasing role
in transparency, innovation, and evidence-based policymaking,
cross-border collaboration is becoming essential to strengthen
Europe’s data landscape. 

The webinar will feature contributions from Yanina Liubyva,
representing Ukraine’s Ministry of Digital Transformation, and
Andreja Gluščević from Serbia’s Office for Information
Technologies and e-Government. Through use cases from their countries,
participants will learn how they promote data reuse, engage
communities and align their strategies with European standards. The
session will also highlight their collaboration with the European Data
Portal, a central platform that provides access to open data from
across Europe and beyond, supporting knowledge exchange and policy
development. 

Open data is at the heart of digital transformation in Europe.
Initiatives such as the Open Data Maturity (ODM) assessment monitor
how countries improve access to and reuse of public sector
information, evaluating progress across policy, portals, quality and
impact. By participating in these initiatives, countries like Ukraine
and Serbia strengthen their ecosystems while contributing to a broader
European framework that encourages comparability and shared
learning. 

Join this webinar to gain practical insights into cross-border
cooperation, learn from real-world experiences and explore how open
data can drive innovation beyond EU borders.
