The Land Portal will be participating and sponsoring the Open Aid Data Conference http://openaiddata.de/ which is taking place in Berlin, Germany on 28-29 September 2011.
The conference will gather together IT people, development experts and practitioners to discuss how open data can promote transparent and effective aid and to explore the potential of open data for improving feedback processes, donor coordination and accountability.
Representatives from NGOs and government agencies will share their experience of opening up their data. Exciting open data examples from other sectors will illustrate the added value of open data in development cooperation.
This is a great opportunity for the Land Portal to explore potential convergences, approach new ideas about data and information sharing and explore opportunities for collaboration to promote Open Data and Transparency in land issues.
Registration for the event is open here.
The detailed programme of the conference is available here.
