Policy Cloud: Realising the European cloud for data-driven policy management

PolicyCloud is a brand-new project that will become the first pilot in using the European cloud infrastructure for public administrations. Funded under the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 programme, over the next 3 years the project will deliver a unique integrated environment addressing the full lifecycle of policy management. The project will use the capabilities offered by the European Cloud Initiative, especially concerning data analysis, in order to facilitate evidence-based policy making. PolicyCloud officially kicked off on the 1st of January 2020, with the first face-to-face meeting held in Madrid on 21st and 22nd January.
