The registration period for the workshop cycle of the Ciudades Abiertas project is now open

The collaborative project Ciudades Abiertas organize a workshop cycle to disseminate the results obtained throughout the execution of this project. Throughout the project, various tools and solutions have been developed that are to be made known so that other regions can implement them.

What is Ciudades Abiertas?

Ciudades Abiertas is a collaborative project led by four municipalities (A Coruña, Madrid, Santiago de Compostela and Zaragoza) in collaboration with Red.es.

Its main objective is to offer city councils technological tools that allow the development of new reusable initiatives by other organizations. In this way, they seek to facilitate interoperability between administrations, the publication of open data, transparency and the participation of citizens.

Among its lines of action is the promotion of open data. The project provides the technical and conceptual means necessary for the “management of shared unique data, open by default, georeferenced and semantically annotated by the city”. It also offers a vocabularies catalog and common and open data structures on Github for free use. You can learn more about their performances at this article and on their own Web page.

Who are the workshops aimed at?

The workshops are aimed both at representatives of different organizations and at all citizens interested in attending.

In the case of organizations, they will be provided with the necessary information so that they can implement the solutions in their own initiatives.

When will the cycle of workshops be held?

The cycle organized by Open Cities consists of 6 workshops that will be held throughout the month of October, the first beginning on the 6th. All of them will be held virtually. To be able to attend, it is essential to make a prior registration individually in each of the workshops in which you want to participate.

In the first workshop there will be a presentation of the project and the lines of action carried out within it. The rest of the workshops will address specific aspects, linked to the different lines of action.
