The data.europa.eu (formerly European Data Portal) team hosted the webinar "Opportunities for Value Creation in Europe: The Economic Impact of Open Data" to discuss the findings of the Economic Impact of Open Data 2020 report. In the webinar, the primary authors of the study - Esther Huyer and Laura van Knippenberg - highlighted the key findings of the report. In particular, they focused on the:

- Efficiency gains of open data

- Economic component and social benefits of open data

- Expected growth of the open data market size and employment

The data.europa.eu (formerly European Data Portal) team hosted the webinar "The Open Data Rural Gap" to discuss:

1. Research into the availability of rural open data and its supply across Europe; and

2. Practical examples and insights into how rural open data is used to overcome the open data rural gap.

The data.europa.eu team (formerly European Data Portal) hosted the webinar "Open data best practices in Europe: Cyprus, France and Ireland" to discuss open data best practices from top performing countries of the Open Data Maturity 2019 Report. In this webinar, the primary author of the report - Laura van Knippenberg - highlighted key findings of the report with representatives from Cyprus, France and Ireland along four dimensions:

1. Open data policy

2. Open data portal

3. Open data impact

4. Open data quality

This training session, hosted by the data.europa academy, aims to present and discuss recent evolutions in relation to intellectual property rights (IPR), as described in the research paper “Data sharing as a service: Will data services remove intellectual property rights from the picture, and at what cost?”. Two topics are singled out: the impact of the Open Data Directive on IPR and the shift from static data sharing to Data-as-a-Service.

In Europe, 5G coverage is already extensive in urban areas, provided primarily from existing macrocell towers. Although the macrocell-based deployment of 5G services has provided some capacity relief to 4G networks, increasing urban mobile data demand is pushing against the capacity limits of the existing network infrastructure. In addition, the deployment of mmWave 5G services, which would add significant new capacity, is not practical using macrocells. The challenges for network design that are already evident in urban 4G deployments become dominant with the transition to 5G.

Context Information is the information that is necessary for systems to be more adaptable to different contexts within the real world.
