Take a look at our brochure and find out what is Open Data Support and how can we help you

1. PwC
The mission of Open Data Support is to improve the
visibility and facilitate the access to datasets
published on local and national Open Data portals in
order to increase their reuse within and across
borders. This will be achieved by providing
homogenised access to metadata descriptions of
open datasets via a single point of access.

Open Data promises
cultural, social and
economic benefits for
society and business. Open
Data initiatives around
Europe are expected to
promote transparency,
foster collaboration across
government and beyond,
reduce government costs,
allow the creation of
innovative services, and
inform decision-making.
Although more than 150
Open Data portals have
already been developed at
a national, regional and
local level all over Europe,
the reuse of open datasets
remains low due to the
physical fragmentation of
existing data portals and
the lack of awareness
(within and across
borders and sectors) of
available open datasets.
Building better access to open datasets across Europe
“Currently accessibility to and
awareness of open datasets are limited”

Open Data Support is a 36 month
project funded by DG CONNECT of
the European Commission.
