Learn more about our data.europa academy January activities
In January we started the year by hosting the webinar ‘Navigating the European data strategy: the progress towards the single market of data’, providing participants with valuable insights into the evolving legal landscape of open data. With over 1 100 registrants the webinar sparked a lot of interest in the open data community, highlighting the topic’s relevance.
The webinar aimed to offer attendees a comprehensive understanding of key EU data policies. Experts from the European Commission elaborated on major legislative drivers that are shaping European data policies, focusing specifically on the Data Governance Act, high-value datasets, and the Open Data Directive. The session explored how these legal frameworks are guiding Europe's journey towards a data-driven economy that promotes growth and innovation.
While the webinar was based on the European Data Strategy 2020, the speakers also provided a forward-looking perspective, highlighting future policies under the new European Commission 2024-2029. It concluded with an interactive Q&A session, allowing participants to ask their remaining questions. As the open data landscape continues to evolve rapidly, staying informed on policy updates remains crucial for stakeholders across sectors. If you missed the session, you can still watch the recording and access the slides.
Building on this strong start, the January session provided participants with a solid foundation for the year ahead. Stay tuned for more insightful webinars from the data.europa academy, as we continue to explore the dynamic world of open data and offer opportunities for continued learning.
