Open Expo is an initiative of Expo 2015 aiming at ensuring total transparency of the 2015 Universal Exposition through publishing all information in open format as far as the management, planning, organization and carrying out of the event are concerned. In such a context, Open Expo intends to enhance the information that was released by Expo 2015 S.p.A. in the section Transparent administration, thus making the data on the economic management of the event (inflows and outflows, purchases, payments and related beneficiaries), the carried out works (worksites, description of the works, amounts envisaged for their carrying out) and the possible variants during the conduction of the event (number of visitors, mobility and public transport) available. Furthermore, the OpenExpo2015.it portal provides constantly updated dynamic infographics that allow us to have a clear picture, at a glance, of the work in progress and more in general, of the progress of the event as a whole.
