*Workshop on strategic cooperation on Blue Growth in the North Sea, 
20-21 June 2016, The Hague, The Netherlands*

The North Sea is an economic maritime heavyweight in Europe and provides 
a huge potential for enhancing the blue economy and boosting the 
region’s competitiveness. Cooperation at sea-basin level has an 
essential role to play in building on this potential.

The event will be focused on challenges and opportunities for strategic 
transnational co-operation and in particular, what needs to be done to 
facilitate and accelerate strategic public-private initiatives that can 
maximise joint business opportunities in blue growth areas/value chains 
in the North Sea region. The workshop will be organised in a 
participative and inclusive way, as to identify the collective ideas and 
needs of the stakeholders.

Detailed information on the programme and final report will be available 
for all stakeholders on the website for the workshop (link will follow 
in the coming weeks). The workshop will be hosted by the Province of 
South Holland in the Province House (Provinciehuis) located in The Hague.

*A new data tool lets scientists scour and download almost 500 datasets*

The Joint Research Service (JRC), the department charged with providing 
scientific expertise to support EU policy development, has opened a new 
window on a big chunk of its research.

Earlier this month it made public 490 datasets, which scientists and app 
developers are free to download and for their research or business 
ideas, providing the source is acknowledged.

The wide-ranging topics covered by the *Data Catalogue* 
<http://ift.tt/1RitDqs> include climate, freshwater resources, alien 
species, soil and forests.

The success of any open data portal relies on useful presentation of 
data, in a format that is genuinely usable. For instance, data formats 
such as HTML or PDF are not easily consumed by all applications.

The JRC promises the datasets are to, “the greatest extent possible made 
available in an accepted, platform-independent, machine-readable format 
via accepted interfaces.”

JRC data will also be accessible through the EU Commission’s *open data 
portal* <http://ift.tt/1s1gHaI>, which allows access to information on 
EU investments across more than 500 policy programmes within eight 
subject groups. Internet users can explore the data by country, fund and 
theme.
