Open Data projects implemented during the pandemic have reminded again to the Eurasian countries governments on the importance of releasing any possible amount of data for free public access. Most of the local virus spread tracking apps have been developed based on the open data use and some of the vaccines against COVID-19 are being developed on the basis of open data. How can Eurasian countries take a historic chance and make open data a significant component of economic growth and social development? These issues to be discussed on our next StrategEast Live session.
