Launch of a new Open Data platform
The European Commission has just launched a beta version of an Open Data platform: http://open-data.europa.eu/open-data.
This portal aims at providing access to open public data from the European Commission, as well as access to data of other institutions, bodies, offices and agencies. The data is accessible to the general public, who can download it and reuse it, and at the same time, data publishers and application developers can use new functionalities enabled by the semantic technologies.

Annual Open Data/Public Sector Information re-use conference.
Public Sector Information re-use is in the process of reaching a certain degree of maturity and uptake. However, this uptake differs significantly between Member States, PSI domains and stakeholders. The ePSIplatform Conference will therefore be aimed at those that should embark, but have (partly) failed to do so far.
Where and When:
The event takes place on Friday 22 February 2013 and is kindly hosted by the famous Warsaw University, in close collaboration with Centrum Cyfrowe, the leading Polish think tank on the role of ICTs in society.
The jobs and skills gap
There are currently only 5 million ITC professionals working within the European Union. Recent graduates going into the job market do not receive enough training on the key skills that will be needed in future jobs: digital skills, entrepreneurial initiative skills, and foreign languages. What actions need to be put in place to solve this major problem? Who are going to be the key players in these actions?
