Regional Data Network
Czech-Bavarian Open Data Network
The RegionalData project creates a cross-border network aimed at developing connection and cooperation between open data owners and digital service providers in the South Bohemia-Bavaria region.
This digital networking focuses especially on state administrations, municipalities and public organisations that are most active in data opening.
The project Czech-Bavarian Network for Open Data is co-financed under the Cross-border Cooperation Programme Free State of Bavaria – Czech Republic Objective ECA 2014-2020.
