Data Quality – Significance and Description of Quality

This course, provided by EIPA's partnering Institution eOppiva from Finland, is focusing on data quality, especially on understanding the benefits of data quality and being able to describe it.

About this course

Information plays an enormous role in society and people’s everyday lives. The more reliable information is and the better it is able to describe reality, the more value the information has.

The training will inspire you to reflect on the significance of data quality in your own work, at the level of the entire organisation and from the perspective of cross-border cooperation and society as a whole. You will learn the basics of describing the quality and different aspects of quality through common data quality criteria. Practical examples and reflection assignments will increase your understanding of data quality.
