Open Source Political Intelligence - What is it and why does it matter?

🇬🇧 English Version

Open Politics – Collaborative Tools for Open Political Data

Politics is complex, and making sense of it requires access to good information. The Open Politics Project is working on and operationalising open-source tools that help analyse political structures, decisions, and developments—so that journalists, researchers, activists, and engaged citizens can better understand and interpret them.

Our goal is to make political data more accessible and useful. We bring together existing methods from data analysis, political science, and AI, while also experimenting with new approaches—always in the open, documented, and improved through collaboration. From user-friendly visualisations to structured databases, we explore ways to work with political data in a way that’s practical and meaningful.
