The Open Data Engagement Fund (totalling up to €30,000) has been developed in conjunction with the Open Data Governance Board (ODGB) which provides leadership in implementing Ireland's Open Data Initiative and this is the fourth year in which the fund has been made available. Promoting reuse of the data on the open data portal data.gov.ie is a key theme in the national Open Data Strategy, 2017-2022. Opening up government data provides new opportunities for research, innovation, engagement and greater efficiency for all sectors of the economy.
