*Reddit AMA with Dutch Minister Foreign Affairs on transparency EU*

On Monday 8 February, the Dutch minister of foreign affairs Mr Bert
Koenders will respond to questions from the public on social media forum
Reddit. It will be the first time a Dutch minister answers questions
through Reddit’s ‘Ask Me Anything’ (AMA) format. Various international
politicians and entrepreneurs such as Barack Obama and Bill Gates have
preceeded Mr Koenders by hosting an AMA of their own.

Minister Koenders will open the AMA thread on Monday morning, 08:30 CET and
will sit down to answer questions for half an hour in the afternoon,
starting at 1545 CET. The AMA can be followed by everybody– even without a
Reddit account – at https://www.reddit.com/r/AMA/. To ask the minister a
question you need to register for a Reddit account.

The Dutch Foreign Minister wants to improve transparency of EU
decision-making, for example through the use of digital technology.

*TransparencyCamp Europe*

Developers, government officials, journalists and activists from all over
Europe will shine their light on EU decision-making and open government as
TransparencyCamp Europe comes to Amsterdam on 1 June 2016. Open State
Foundation together with the Dutch Presidency of the Council of the
European Union, launch a series of events: an online European-wide open
data app competition, hackathons in a number of European capitals and
TransparencyCamp Europe (https://transparencycamp.eu/), an unconference for
open government in Amsterdam.
