[ddj] We want ALL data on all European Subsidies!

[Owens Kathryn]

Good morning,

I work at the EU Committee of the Regions and am very interested to hear about this project, not least because we are organising an event for media students/early career journalists in November on the links between EU open data and journalism.
Should you need any institutional support, please do not hesitate to contact me. And if you/or someone you know might be interested to join our event, you can see more here: https://www.facebook.com/events/225885017807089/?ti=icl

Hi Everyone,

We need your HELP! We want ALL data on all European Subsidies!

How much the EU spends its money and how EU-subsidies are divided on regional level is wonderfully complex<http://openbudgets.eu/post/2016/06/09/how-can-we-track-EU-spending/> and difficult to trace.<http://openbudgets.eu/post/2016/06/14/tracing-eu-funds/> The data is partially available on different websites of regions and members states.

We, Open Knowledge Germany and Open Knowledge International, have set out to bring this all together in one platform, and make sure it is easy to query, visualise and analyse. We will start with the European Structural and Cohesion Funds (ESIF). We have made a first forey bringing all the ESIF datasets/websites in this spreadsheet<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RkC_YuWWlhGxyDRc-bpD_zaWAXK78GpPr8nfPesQfSY/edit?usp=sharing> and this repository.<https://github.com/os-data/eu-structural-funds>

Now we need your help!

Would you like to work on European Funds and Subsidies for your country, or are you already working on it? Do drop us a line!

Do you have domain knowledge about Financial Transparency in Europe and would you like to help us write tutorials and resources?

Do you just want to play around with the data and find stories in the datasets?

Let us know!

Cheers,

Anna, Bela, Loic, Diana, Victoria
