📆 Last week, EPRS hosted an #ECPRD seminar focusing on the use of data visualisation in parliaments.

📊 Turning complex information into clear, concise visuals is key for parliaments.

Thanks to all speakers including EP Vice-President Victor Negrescu

It seems I was not the only one who decided this week to look for some blue sky & sun! 😅 #EuropeanParliament
president.europarl.europa.eu Roberta Metsola @president.europarl.europa.eu · Jan 14
As someone who grew up on an island in the Mediterranean, I’m no stranger to blue skies.

But this Blue Sky is different 😃. Here, I’m new.

So as I do my first post, I look forward to connect, interact & continue to advance democracy. This is what we do at the European Parliament.

Watch this space.
The President of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola.
