1. The CEPEJ Secretariat of the European Commission for the Efficiency of Justice (CEPEJ) has created the CEPEJ-STAT dynamic database, which allows users to access data on the judicial systems of Council of Europe Member States and observer countries from 2010 to 2022, collected biennially. The database features datasets and thematic dashboards focused on the following areas: Judicial system overview, efficiency, budget, information and communication technology, gender equality, judges, and prosecutors. Additionally, reliable information on AI systems and other crucial cyberjustice tools used in the digital transformation of judicial systems can be accessed through the Resource Center on Cyberjustice and AI. This data is collected from CEPEJ's European Cyberjustice Network (ECN) members, including (Thematic Networks on the IPSAPortal).

2. Eyes on Russia – Mapping Russia’s War on Ukraine is a project by the independent Centre for Information Resilience (CIR), which launched in January 2022. The project aims to collect and verify photos, videos, satellite imagery, and other media linked to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Currently, the project facilitates research by the wider Osint (Open Source Intelligence) community. Verified information is stored in a database and displayed on the Russia-Ukraine Monitor Map. Building on the initial map developed and maintained with assistance from MapHub, CIR partnered with the non-profit C4ADS to enhance the map's vision. The dynamic map enables the user to view gathered data by affected sector and type of military action (Thematic Networks on the IPSAPortal).

3. The UNESCO Core Data Portal gathers data on worldwide funded projects, tracking their features and progression. Currently, close to 2,000 projects have received funding under 13 programs encompassing Education, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences and the Humanities, Culture, Communications and Information, thereby benefitting 170 recipient countries. More than 570 financiers have contributed to the projects, providing a budget of over $1.5 billion. The dynamic map lets users view the areas covered, while analyses help us pinpoint the top sectors that receive funding. These sectors include Culture, Education, Natural Sciences and Communication and Information (Official Records on the IPSAPortal).
