Policy Observatory
Tracking legislation that shapes an open digital Europe
Through our policy observatory, we track the policy files that have the potential to advance openness and to contribute to a digital public space maximizing the societal benefits of shared data, knowledge and culture.
For each of the policy files that we track here, we provide an up-to-date timeline of the most important legislative developments, that we enrich with our own analysis, opinions, publications and events as well as noteworthy positions by other stakeholders. Over time, the observatory files grow to provide a historical archive of the policies as they take shape.
