The ODI Madrid team opens the door to collaborate in the organization of Open Data Day 2020

Those interested can suggest scenarios, projects or ideas for the organization of the event, or participate in the promotion and dissemination of the meeting, which will take place worldwide on March 7.

Madrid, November 28, 2019. On March 7, the Open Data Day 2020 (# DD2020) will be held worldwide, giving a new opportunity to development and progress through the management of open data. In this new edition, in which the tenth anniversary of this international meeting is celebrated, we suggest to the participants to coordinate to reach a higher number of people - professionals, citizens interested in the use of open data, researchers, journalists, political decision makers ... - to build new solutions to the problems of each community using data.

Organized in Madrid by the Ontological Engineering Group (OEG) since its inception, and in collaboration with the node of the Open Data Institute in the Community of Madrid (ODI Madrid) since 2016, the International Open Data Day has been a good opportunity to collaborate in the management, organization, visualization and communication of projects through the use of open data that municipalities and public institutions make available to the citizen.

On this occasion, and after several years celebrating the meeting in the centre of Madrid, the organization has opened the door to organize the Open Data Day in a new scenario of the Community of Madrid, to make participation more open and closer.

Those who want to collaborate with ODI Madrid and the OEG in the organization of #ODD2020 can complete the form created for this purpose, or send an e-mail to mailto:odi_madrid@delicias.dia.fi.upm.es expressing the intention to participate in the organization of the open data day 2020.

Among the proposals that are already available for Open Data Day 2020 we can find TheyBuyForYou and ACTION, two H2020 projects that will participate with mentoring and teams organization on issues related to the control and management of expenditure and public procurement, and with a design of specific programs of Citizen Science and Open Science through open data.
