The project studied the current use of publicly accessible information and published government data Open Data , in particular by civil society actors and journalists, and its possible impact on the prevention and identification of corruption in four EU member states Italy, the UK, Spain, and Austria.
In the individual countries, the following dimensions were analysed and compared:. The research report concluded that in Austria, publicly accessible information and Open Data de facto have no role in the prevention and identification of corruption so far. To change this, the report recommended a number of measures, amongst others the introduction of a strong freedom of information law and the automatic publication of information on public subsidies, procurement and privatisation.
The report also emphasised that Austria so far has no national strategy regarding transparency in administration and Open Data. Data-based investigative journalism and civil society organisations in the field of anti-corruption are underdeveloped compared to international standards not only because access to relevant information is often lacking, but also because funding for non-profit actors is insufficient.
The ICCS is a study that investigated the ways in which young people are prepared for their roles as citizens in modern societies. It tested student knowledge and understanding of civics and citizenship as well as student attitudes, perceptions and activities related to civics and citizenship.
The Austrian team crafted a specific national module in addition to the international and European questionnaires. The idea was to find out, which issues are discussed at school and who are the interlocutors with whom students talk about civic and citizenship issues within their social milieu. Login Signup.
