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

Mon Aug 29 12:28:12 UTC 2016

Dear Anna,

My name is Olaya Argueso and I am a freelance journalist based in Madrid. My stronger points are scraping and data analysis, but I can also help with viz. Besides, I have been an economy and business reporter for more than a decade for the main radio network in Spain. I would be very happy to help you with this project.

I am currently in New York, but I will be back to Madrid in the next days.

Best regards,

Olaya Argueso.

Dat journalism consultant.

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

Hi Anna,

I am Adrian Blanco, a data journalist working at Spanish newspaper El Confidencial.

Next week I am in holidays but on September I will be back. Sounds like a really good idea. Take me into account to work in the project. I have worked before with EU subsidies and it is a very interesting and wide topic.

Let me know if you need more info and next steps.

All the best,

Adri?n
