As a part of ”Open Data Days”, which were organized in cooperation Code for Croatia and GONG, and in partnership with the H2020 Project ‘’Twinning Open Data Operational – TODO’’, held a virtual conference entitled ”Social useful open technologies: How have disasters digitized us and what’s next?” The following two days, the Virtual Weekend Hackathon was organized where interdisciplinary teams worked on open public sector data and created new, socially useful products.
The panel entitled “How can open data help the community?” brought together scientists involved in the Horizon2020 project “Twinning Open Data Operational – TODO” and non-institutional users of open data, who shared their experiences.
Our PhD cand. Bia Mandžuka also participated in the panel with a review on the topic “Open data in the field of traffic and transport – Personalized multimodal journey planners”. She pointed out that open and accessible data in traffic and transportation are a valuable resource for scientific research and concrete digital solutions that will shape our future in urban areas. According to the EU directive, each member state establishes its own National Access Point – a single access point based on open data.
Also, she pointed out the importance of an interdisciplinary approach through Horizon2020 project “Twinning Open Data Operational – TODO” and Interreg project ”Coordination mechanisms for a multimodal cross-border traveller information network based on OJP for Danube Region – OJP4Danube”.
