Project: OpenBudgets.eu - Financial Transparency Platform for the Public Sector

Responsible organisation: Fraunhofer Institute (Consortium)

The OpenBudgets.eu platform includes 13 tools aimed at administrations, data managers, and investigative journalists. They make it possible to analyse financial data from different public bodies and jurisdictions, visualise and display it online, and help viewers, even those without specialist data skills, to detect patterns and anomalies. The platform also features tutorials designed to help journalists and civil society activists to investigate public budgets and games aimed at raising awareness of data interpretation and corrupt practices. It also contains information about how EU regional funding is allocated and spent, with regional datasets integrated into one database.
