The Open Data Directive underpins the work at data.europa.eu, by playing a role in enhancing the availability and reusability of public sector data across the EU
The European Commission, in collaboration with Spark Legal and Policy Consulting, Capgemini Invent, Open Evidence, a legal expert from KU Leuven, and a network of national experts from Member States, is conducting an evaluation of three key EU data laws: the Free Flow of Non-Personal Data Regulation, the Open Data Directive (ODD), and the Data Governance Act.
To guide this evaluation, the Commission is inviting citizens to share their views via targeted surveys. For the ODD, the surveys examine how open data provided by public sector bodies is being reused, the impact on innovation and the economy, and whether there are any legal or technical barriers in place:
- If you are reusing public sector data for products, services or advocacy, the Business & Civil Society Survey is for you.
- If you are involved with research that provides or relies on open data, you can take the Research (Funders) Survey.
- If you are a public undertaking making data available to reuse, the Public Undertakings Survey is for you.
The ODD underpins the work at data.europa.eu, by playing a role in enhancing the availability and reusability of public sector data across the EU. The Directive aims to support the development of innovative digital services, facilitate evidence-based decision-making, and drive economic growth throughout Europe.
By participating in the survey, your views will help to evaluate the impact of the Directive and its effectiveness in promoting the reuse of public sector information.
