for
the following four tracks:

   - *Follow public money flows* track, particularly focusing on Open
   Contracting
   - *Open mapping* track where we want to learn about the power of maps to
   develop better communities
   - For the *Open Science* track, you can cover anything from open
   research data, to open access and how that fits in making science more
   relatable and useful for people;
   - Last but not least there is the *Equal Development* track, this topic
   can cover anything from SDG’s to using data at a very local level to give
   our community more agency on how it evolves.

Event organisers can only apply once and for just one category, so choose
well.

The application form
