EU Datathon 2018

The Publications Office of the European Union is organising the second edition of the EU Datathon competition that highlights the potential of linking EU and national data. The event started in May 2018, with the final phase taking place in Brussels on 2 October 2018. EU Datathon is a competition intended to highlight the potential of linking EU and national data as well as to promote the reuse of open data.

Participants are invited to develop apps using at least one dataset produced by the EU Institutions or Agencies available on the EU Open Data Portal. The apps should address one of the following four thematic challenges:

1. ‘EU open data — For more innovation in Europe’
2. ‘National and EU law — Make legislation interoperable’
3. ‘EU public procurement — Value for citizens, value for businesses’
4. ‘European Food Safety Authority — Fostering data re-use and innovation’

The first two challenges are financed by ISA².

Other partners of the EU Datathon 2018 are the European Data Portal, the ELI Task Force (European Legislation Identifier), the Directorate-General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs of the European Commission and the European Food Safety Authority.
