With the Community pillar, Data Uruguay organizes networks and events at both national and international levels to build a supportive community for open government, open knowledge, digital rights, participation, and open data.

As for Activism, Data Uruguay partners with local and international civil society organizations and academia to advocate for open government, data, knowledge, digital rights, and public policy co-creation.
