European Union hashtags offer


This page introduces systematically defined hashtags for local government units in Netherlands.

#tagcoding hashtags cover another four topic dimensions:

All those hashtags can be localized by adding the country's ISO 3166 country code, which is NL. For instance:

  • #sdg1NL for the goal "Ending poverty in all its forms in Netherlands".
  • #isic9101NL for the economic activity "Library and archives activities in Netherlands".
  • #cofog0112NL for the function of government "Financial and fiscal affairs in Netherlands.

The Actor Atlas page of Netherlands lists all #sdgNL, #isicNL and #cofogNL hashtags!


Local information and communication channels are essential, yet not trivial via social media.

That's why knowing and using tagcoding hashtags will improve communications in the public sphere of Netherlands.
