From contracts to oligarchs: how open data can power investigations into public spending and its beneficiaries

Join us for a discussion about the databases and digital tools that can help you understand government spending in Germany and the EU, and who profits from it.

This two-hour in-person workshop will include practical demonstrations of tools to research Russian assets and companies of sanctioned oligarchs; strategies for detecting risks in government contracts; and other tips for tracking public projects that keep our society running. While there will be a focus on Germany, we will also discuss best practices from the region.

When: Wednesday, 02.11.2022 | 4:00 pm — 6:00 pm (CET)
Location: Forum Hertie School
