Data spaces and open data maturity: A recap of our February webinars

February was an educational month at the data.europa academy, featuring two insightful webinars. We continued our ‘Data spaces’ series with a focus on the financial data space and hosted our annual ‘Open Data Maturity’ webinar.

During the ‘Data spaces: experiences from the European Financial Data Space’ we explored the European Financial Data Space (EFDS) in depth. Two experts from the Directorate General of Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Markets Union explained three core components of the data space: the European Single Access Point, the Framework for Financial Data Access, and the Supervisory Data Strategy. They also shared valuable insights into the EFDS’s implementation. The session was highly interactive, with numerous questions from the audience. The webinar was recorded, and you can now watch the recording and access the slides.

At the end of February, we hosted our annual open data maturity webinar, where one of the authors of the 2024 Open Data Maturity Report (ODM) introduced the assessment and highlighted the 2024 results. Croatia and Latvia took the spotlight to showcase their best practices and approaches to open data, given their significant growth in the 2024 ODM results. If you missed the webinar, you can watch the recording and access the slides.

We are happy to conclude another successful month at the data.europa academy, where we continue to contribute to the open data community and advance data literacy across the EU. In the coming months, we have many exciting events planned. Have you registered for our upcoming webinar, ‘Smart cities and digital twin technology: the case of Dublin’, yet?
