Data for Society

Climate change, energy crisis, mobility revolution – creating communities that are sustainable and livable requires solid information. If we want to make sound decisions, we need sufficient amounts of well-prepared data. Our project highlights the importance of (open) data for communities and communal life and dismantles the barriers that prevent us from accessing those data.
