Stockholm: 25 November 2009

Thirty participants took part in the first European Public Sector Information (PSI) Platform meeting held in Stockholm, 24 November 2009. The meeting theme was: “Stimulating PSI Re-use: European Progress”.

Both meeting speakers and participants were tasked with the challenge of reflecting on European Progress on PSI re-use. The meeting heard from speakers with updates from the European level, from Sweden and Spain followed by sessions on PSI regulation and pragmatic approaches taken to advancing PSI re-use across Europe.
