Šilutė District Municipality hosted the transnational exchange knowledge event in Silute, Lithuania between 30-31 January 2024. The meeting aimed to delve into the pivotal role of Open Data in supporting local growth and urban transformation.
Silute municipality seized this occasion to elucidate how even a small community can recognize the inherent value in leveraging Open Data for this purpose. Concurrently, partners contributed local strategies on the same subject matter to enrich the discussion. The workshop provided a valuable platform to glean insights into how various European countries are addressing the delivery of services to both citizens and businesses, showcasing how Open Data can elevate their quality and efficacy.
Throughout the gathering, partners collectively shared their respective local practices about Open Data and the provision of public services, initiating a process to identify exemplary practices. Employing predefined criteria for selection, approximately 10 such practices were earmarked for potential publication on the Interreg Europe website.
The meeting served as an exceptional opportunity for networking, knowledge sharing, and fortifying collaborative bonds. Additionally, partners deliberated on the project's progress and commenced planning activities for the forthcoming third semester.
