Kohesio: the open door to data on projects funded by the European Union
Are you interested in learning how European funds are invested in different regions of Europe? Are you looking for information for a research project, a data analysis project, or simply want to discover the real impact of European funding? The European Commission offers citizens, researchers, journalists, public administrations, and businesses a particularly useful tool for this: Kohesio, the open data platform on projects funded by the European Union's Cohesion Policy.
Kohesio brings together information on thousands of projects and beneficiaries that have received financial support from cohesion funds across Europe. Through this platform, it is possible to explore the connections between projects, beneficiary entities, funding programs, and European regions, offering a comprehensive and transparent view of how EU resources are being used.
One of the tool's most outstanding features is that it is based on a European knowledge graph, which allows for intuitive navigation between the various elements related to European funding. This allows users to discover which organizations are participating in specific programs, which projects are being developed in a particular region, or how different EU-funded initiatives are connected.
In addition to online consultation, Kohesio provides access to data in reusable formats such as CSV, XLSX, and RDF, opening the door to numerous possibilities for analysis, visualization, and the development of applications based on public data. This availability of information promotes transparency, access to knowledge, and data reuse by society.
The platform is a valuable resource for those who wish to delve deeper into the impact of the European Union's Cohesion Policy, learn about examples of projects funded in different territories, or conduct studies and analyses on European investment and its results.
Those interested can consult the tool and access the datasets through the official Kohesio website: Kohesio - Open Data on EU-funded Projects.
