By providing easy and free access to data, the European Union wants to encourage innovation and unleash further economic potential. The EU institutions already have an extensive catalogue of open datasets, covering many different aspects, including politics, law, transparency and finance, which can be retrieved through the EU Open Data Portal. Open data sets from the different levels of government are also becoming increasingly available on the European Data Portal. With the rise of interest in open data, a few, innovative journalists are beginning to tell powerful stories and to back them up with interactive graphics.

The ninth edition of the EPP-CoR Winter University will provide a platform to share experiences of data journalism and the potential of EU open data to break stories. The event will conclude with a debate on the links between open data and data journalism's contribution to the transparency of government.

Deadline: 15 October 2016
