Over the past year, the academic section of data.europa.eu expanded its open data training offer by publishing new conferences, courses and workshops. Thus, data.europa.academy shared a total of 15 webinars related to open data, data spaces and other topics and technical issues around the data economy.

In line with the online training philosophy of this area of expertise, professionals and users interested in open data were able to attend the conferences from anywhere in the EU by filling in a web-based registration form.

Among the webinars of the recently concluded 2022 were workshops and seminars on open data quality and metadata, the legal and technical perspective of open data openness, the potential of open data in real time or the opportunities it offers to citizens when developing solutions and services.

In this way, the range of content is very broad in terms of subject matter and level of technical accessibility, which makes it easy to filter the webinars according to interests. In addition, as many of the training sessions are based on reports previously published by the European data portal, they have very useful supporting documentation to complete the knowledge acquired.

In order to bring together this valuable source of knowledge in an orderly fashion, below you can access the 15 lectures published over the past year, as well as their respective supporting presentations.
