Open data can help 'heal society's problems', says former MEP as she takes up new digital role - FutureScot

"Open data can help ‘heal society’s problems’, a former Scottish MEP has said as she takes up a new role promoting global digital transparency and interoperable standards.

Catherine Stihler, who stood down as the European Member of Parliament for Scotland in January after 20 years in the post, said she is now campaigning for ‘frictionless data’ and a free and open internet that helps foster a culture of open research and innovation for public good."
