In the past two years the Clarity project partners have gathered useful resources for Open eGovernment practises that can be shared among the network. These include methods, reports, video's, papers and articles from the Open eGovernment community in Europe. The resources come from governments, from other H2020 projects, from the European Commission, from Civil Society and other relevant organisations in the network.
