Data labs

The OpenCoesione data labs are organized in the form of hackathon, Data Study Lab or seminars, representing training sessions dedicated to the analysis of the data published on the OpenCoesione portal.

The main objective of these initiatives are to increase awareness of the stakeholders (such as public servants of national and regional administrations, journalists, students) about the contents and information that can be created starting from the data on the projects published on the portal and also to edit specific outputs from data. This can support strengthening the data-driven analysis of the policies, providing food for thought.

Il Laboratorio sulla conoscenza - LabOP - è un percorso laboratoriale collaborativo di supporto all’elaborazione dei Programmi 21-27 focalizzato sul quadro degli obiettivi da perseguire in termini di risultati e output. Le attività del LabOP (http://www.valutazionecoesione.it/attivita-di-sistema/SNVlab.html) sono state avviate nella seconda metà del 2021 nell’ambito del Sistema Nazionale di Valutazione della politica di coesione (SNV) e in collaborazione con la Rete dei Nuclei. 

Nell’ambito del LabOP, OpenCoesione ha proposto attività laboratoriali volte a imparare dall’esperienza lavorando su dossier dedicati agli indicatori comuni FESR e FSE previsti dai Regolamenti comunitari nel ciclo di programmazione 2014-2020 e riconfermati nel periodo 2021-2027. I dossier sono stati proposti per tutti gli Obiettivi di policy, al netto dell’OP5 - un’Europa più vicina ai cittadini - data la novità che questo rappresenta in termini di indicatori rispetto al ciclo precedente.
