Code4EU launch

---

Description

Code4Europe – taking after the Code4America – is an initiative, in which talented web developers, designers and entrepreneurs work for the municipalities and other public institutions in seven European cities for a fixed period of time. They will work on web and mobile applications for the civic innovations and contribute to making cities more open and efficient.

The Fellowship programme helps cities to leverage technology and better engage the community by supporting the movement towards transparency and collaboration. Yet, it brings the top talents to the public institutions with out-of the-box answers to cities’ common challenges. Moreover, the fellows and the cities will not only make the real difference in each city, but they also show what’s possible in any city.

Code for Europe is an initiative of the newly started EU project Commons for Europe, lead by ESADE, Spain, working with various partners across the Europe. http://commonsforeurope.net/.

The Finnish Code4Europe Fellowship programme will be published in the Code4Europe launch event on 19th of September 2012 at the Open Knowledge Festival. Come and hear the details of the exiting new fellowship opportunity!
