Description
The ACROSS Data Hub is an innovative platform designed to meet the specific needs of EU border regions by offering harmonised geospatial data and socioeconomic indicators. This tool is set to empower policymakers and stakeholders with invaluable insights into crucial areas such as public transport, healthcare, and cross-border governance. By addressing these domains, the ACROSS Data Hub aims to overcome barriers and fully realise the potential of cross-border collaboration.
Despite the progress made, there are still challenges in accessing high-quality, reliable, and up-to-date cross-border data, which is essential for evidence-based policymaking. The ACROSS Data Hub addresses this issue by providing a comprehensive platform that facilitates the planning, implementation, and monitoring of policies across EU borders.
