New Pricing Model

In 2026, Denmark's Data Portal at Statistics Denmark will introduce a new pricing model that will affect all users of Statistics Denmark’s microdata schemes – initially for new projects established in 2026., The pricing model in DDP App is closely linked to the introduction of broader projects. The logic is to offer broad, long-term projects that can be used for several activities within a defined purpose. Therefore, the price will also be based on the fact that a large part consists of fixed annual costs throughout the project’s lifetime., With the possibility of access to broader projects, changes will be introduced in the new year regarding how data are ordered, as well as adjustments to the current pricing model in Denmark's Data Portal. In the new pricing model, we are introducing “Data Packages.” Each data package includes a set of registers belonging to a specific theme, which is expressed in the title of the data package. You can see an overview of the data packages and where the individual registers belong here (in Danish)., Datapakker (pdf), You will pay for the number of data packages you are approved for and for the number of project accesses associated with each project. These elements cover the costs related to data delivery. In addition, there will be charges for special services that are ordered (such as consultancy, external data, and possible population delineations). You can read more about the new pricing model here (in Danish)., Ny prismodel i Forskningsservice (pdf), The new pricing model will be implemented in two stages: on 1 January 2026 and 1 January 2027. All new projects from 1 January 2026 onwards will be under the new pricing model. Projects established before 2026 will transition to the new pricing model after 1 January 2027, at the time when the first new order is placed. You can read more about the transition arrangement here (in Danish)., Overgangsordning (pdf), If you are interested in learning more about the pricing structure and the components included in the new model (including the costs related to data delivery, services, and disk storage), you can read more here (in Danish)., Komponenter i prismodellen (pdf), The new pricing model will take effect for project databases and subprojects in 2027.

Full register extraction for public institutions

Public institutions can order full register extraction for their projects – meaning all observations in the register – if they need it. This is a result of Denmark’s Data Portal wanting to give projects enhanced capabilities for running several iterations of populations, continuously quality assuring analyses and being more exploratory in data analyses., This enables the projects to:, create populations, create controls for populations created in , Denmark’s Data Portal, create sub-populations of basic data for enrichment of external populations, In the project proposal, the population must be described shortly and precisely (without technical terms, details or data specifications), and it must be documented who creates the population. We are happy to give you advice on which registers that could be necessary to order., , Examples of requests for full register extraction, ’The population consists of all senior-class pupils who left school between 2010 and 2020. We want to create the population ourselves.’, ’The population consists of patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) who have received hip arthroscopic treatment. Ten matching controls are created per case. We want to create the population ourselves.’, ’The population consists of all economically active persons in Denmark. We want to create the population ourselves.’, ’The population consists of pupils in primary and lower secondary school who have participated in our user satisfaction survey on public schools in Denmark. We want to create control populations ourselves and thus want a full population.’ , ‘The population consists of all retail businesses in Region Zealand. Statistics Denmark creates the population. We want to create control populations ourselves and thus want a full population.’, ’The population consists of all general medical practitioners and the rest of the population as control population. We want to create the population ourselves.’, , Populations for external data providers , External data providers, such as the Danish Health Data Authority, may require a delimitation of the population. For example, this applies for access to the Danish pharmaceutical products database (LMDB). In these cases, you can still create the population yourselves, which Statistics Denmark will then forward to the Danish Health Data Authority or use for data extraction., If , Denmark’s Data Portal, creates the population , If you do not have the resources to create populations or control populations, , Denmark’s Data Portal, can carry out this type of assignment. This is done on the basis of a framework agreement., Read more about this process under Population description, Note: The facilitated access to full register extraction is a pilot project running throughout 2025.,

Ghana and Morocco advance in Open Data

Both countries have made significant strides in enhancing their ODIN scores., 27 May 2025 12:00 , By , Klaus Munch Haagensen, Between 2020 and 2024, both Ghana and Morocco have made significant strides in enhancing their Open Data Inventory (ODIN) scores, reflecting their commitment to data transparency and accessibility. We use ODIN as a supplementary measure to track progress in our Strategic Sector Cooperation projects and to identify new areas to work on. You can read more about our Strategic Sector Cooperation (SSC) projects in Ghana and Morocco here:, Ghana, Morocco, The SSCs are financed by the Danish Ministyry of Foreign Affairs., , Facts about ODIN, The Open Data Inventory (ODIN) is developed by Open Data Watch, an international non-profit organization dedicated to improving the availability and openness of official statistics worldwide. ODIN assesses the coverage and openness of official statistics to identify gaps, promote open data policies, and improve access to data. You can read more about ODIN here: , https://odin.opendatawatch.com/, , Ghana, : ODIN score increased from 39 to 54, elevating its overall global rank from 143, rd, to 107, th, . Significant advancements were observed in data coverage, particularly in economic and environmental statistics. In Ghana the progress is very much related to the launch of the StatsBank -https://statsbank.statsghana.gov.gh/ which has greatly improved access to data from 2023 and onwards. Despite improvements, challenges persist in data coverage, particularly in environmental and health statistics., Morocco, : ODIN score rose from 65 to 77, moving up to the overall rank as 25, th, globally from numer 41, st, . Improvements were most profound in data openness, supported by digital transformation initiatives and enhanced dissemination platforms. While Morocco has advanced in data openness, there is a need to improve the availability of disaggregated data, especially in health, gender and food security and nutrition statistics. Although there has been efforts to improve documentation and metadata, strengthening metadata documentation even more would definitely also enhance data usability., These improvements highlight focused efforts in enhancing data coverage and openness, contributing to better-informed decision-making and governance.

New Framework Programme signed

Statistics Denmark and the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs has signed a new agreement to continue and expand the Strategic Sector Cooperation covering the period from 2024-2027. , 15 February 2024 15:00 , By , Klaus Munch Haagensen, , The expected long-term impact of the framework agreement is that decision making and progress on the green transition in partner countries will be more relevant, effective, equitable and just, because it is driven by strong evidence based practice., As part of the new framework agreement Statistics Denmark will continue to work with the national statistical institutions in Ghana, Morocco and Vietnam. In addition, Statistics Denmark will expand our cooperation to a fourth country, which is yet to be identified. , Statistics Denmark will as the only institution also receive funding to assist other Strategic Sector Cooperations to include elements of data and statistics in their project., , , Statistics Denmark will work with three strategic outcomes: , strengthening technical capacity , supporting a just green transition, and , strengthening public-private partnerships. , , The first outcome is much in line with traditional capacity building activities within the area of statistics. It is largely focused on statistics supporting a just green transition including the compilation of the System of Environmental Economic Accounts (SEEA) and the fundamental statistics needed to establish these accounts. SEEA enables us to see how our environment and economy interact and thus allow decision makers to have a solid basis for coming decisions. They also enable citizens to follow progress, and ensure that all countries can compare progress - or the opposite - using the same standards. , Outcome two requires efforts that are more diplomatic and strategic in nature with the aim of establishing relationships with and between stakeholders in society and ensure that NSIs are seen as trusted data providers. To succeed, Statistics Denmark work closely with the Danish Embassies in our partner countries. , Outcome three aims at promoting Danish societal solutions that have been developed through partnerships between the public and private sector. Solutions that either directly or indirectly could have an impact on the quality, the speed and efficiency in the production of statistics, which then ultimately can support the green transition., You can read more about our international projects here
