DIGIWHIST Workshop: Big data on public procurement

The goals of this workshop will be:

• to introduce the large amounts of public procurement data unlocked by Opentender.eu
• to explore ways through which it can be use in improving transparency in public administrations.

Participants will have the chance:

• to improve their knowledge on transparency and public procurement data
