[OpenSpending] EU Budget and Spending Research

Tue Apr 21 14:05:27 UTC 2015

Dear everyone,

this is also a good enough moment to plug the most important conference for European datasets in the context of journalism: DataHarvest
http://www.journalismfund.eu/EIJC15

Part of the DataHarvest Conference is a Hack Day on Thursday the 7th of May in Brussels. If you are interested in or working with datasets on the European level (TED, FarmSubsidies, etc), you should definitely attend!

Cheers
Stefan

Our study will provide with an overview of what has already been done in terms of EU Budget research and investigation in different sectors, and what were the main issues, the main gaps, regarding data transparency and reuse. We would therefore really appreciate any pointer, reference, or feedback in this area.
