The European Union held its first Open Data Days from 23 to 25 November 2021, featuring the EU DataViz conference and EU Datathon competition. The event highlighted open data’s role in driving innovation and digital transformation, aligning with the EU’s data strategy to lead in a data-driven society. Key topics included open data challenges, interoperability, and visualisation techniques for public administration. The EU Datathon, an annual competition, showcased nine finalists presenting apps addressing EU priorities like climate action and mobility. Winners received a €99,000 prize fund and the Public Choice Award. Over 2,000 registrations and 247 proposals from 47 countries participated. The event, organised by the EU Publications Office, aimed to foster collaboration among data providers, institutions, and innovators to enhance data accessibility and usage.
