Euro Chapter Workshop Tomorrow!!
The Euro Student Chapter is offering: Basic conditions, availability, and the value of open data in comparison
May 19-20, 2017; Bonn, Germany
At the Open Southeast Asia’s Data Civil Society, Southeast Asia
In this workshop, we will bring together ideas and best practice examples of open data projects with an impact on the society, government or business. Open data is a global trend but differences exist in its implementation and use. Accordingly, we are going to compare how open data is made available in South East Asia and in Germany and try to answer the following questions together with the attendees:
- What are the basic conditions in Southeast Asia and Germany to make open data available?
- How is the access to open data provided in Southeast Asia and Germany?
- What is the value added of open data in Southeast Asia and Germany?
Participants can share their experience according to their regional backgrounds or experience with different regions. Finally, the exchange may help us to understand why some projects are successful and others fail.
