App Competition and Unconference

Why Transparency and Open Data?

• From letter to parliament:

– A Union focused on core tasks,

– An innovative Union,

– An inclusive Union

• ‘Nonpaper’ Transparency (April 2015) drawn up by the Netherlands and Nordics .... “database [that] allows to reconstruct the decision-making process in a clear and structural manner.”)

• For government, open data offers outreach channel, value in experimentation

Our aims

Transparency: • Concrete, practical delivery of government promise; • Translation from data to valuable insights for EU

citizens • More transparant decision-making in Brussels • Broadly: to let the data show what the EU does Inclusion: • Stimulate open data use by citizens and governments • Offer a platform to generate value from (open) data • Have a conversation about which data needs to be

open

Our approach

Three things that are tied together:

1. Online App Competition

2. Offline App Competition (at missions)

3. Unconference (Transparency Camp)

1. Online App Competition

• by Open State Foundation

• Online/web-based competition;

• Two challenges: – Make decision making more transparant

– Add value to daily lives of Euro citizens

• EU wide

2. Offline App Competition

Diplohack: Transparency Camp Europe

• During running time of the online competition

• Hackathons at missions

• Supported by OSF and Impact Hub Network

• Same two challenges as the online competition

App Competition
