EU Datathon 2019
The EU Datathon 2019 competition aims to promote the reuse of open data from across the European Union. 99 teams submitted creative ideas and 12 teams have been shortlisted to develop their app. The teams will present their apps in the final event in Brussels on 13 June 2019.
The third edition of the EU Datathon has been officially launched on 28 January 2019 by the Publications Office of the European Union, in partnership with the Romanian Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
