A two-days LAPSI meeting will be held at the University Foundation in Bruxelles (Belgium) on 23rd and 24th January 2012: the 2nd LAPSI Public Conference and the 3rd LAPSI Award on the most user-friendly design of a PSI portal in the EU will take place during the meeting.
The Public Conference will give the opportunity to publicly present the state of the art of the LAPSI policy recommendations on Public Sector Information (PSI) re-use. The featured policies focus on some of the major legal topics involved with the re-use of PSI; in particular, intellectual property rights issues, privacy, data protection and personal data treatment, competition law aspects.
The LAPSI members will discuss their policies together with external experts in the field of PSI, as well as with stakeholders and citizens who want to broaden their knowledge around the topics of PSI and Open Data (for more information: see here).
In addition to the scheduled activites, the winner of the 3rd LAPSI Award on the most user-friendly design of a PSI portal in the EU will be announced during the second day of the Public Conference.
The very purpose of the Award is to support any initiative which can be beneficial to PSI re-use policies for moving forward.
The Award has received the support of Infocamere and as a result, the most user-friendly design of a PSI portal will be rewarded with a prize of 1,000 Euros (for more information: see here).
