The CLARITY project aims to encourage the development and adoption of open government technologies in Europe. It runs from March 2016 to February 2018 with a budget of €599,490. The objectives are to engage stakeholders, assess needs and gaps, and develop a blueprint for future steps. Key deliverables include a catalogue of applications and an open government marketplace. The project brings stakeholders together at sprint events to build civic digital applications that address challenges like citizen participation, access to public services information, and optimizing citizen interaction with tax authorities while ensuring privacy.
