Call Data Science and Artificial Intelligence in Public Administration will support 15 projects

The final result of Call Projects of Scientific Research and Technological Development in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence in Public Administration - 2018 has been announced. The 15 approved projects involve partnerships between R&D Units and Public Administration entities, in topics such as health, public transport, water resource management or the use of data from the European Space Agency's IPSentinel system. Altogether, the projects represent an investment of nearly 4 million euros over three years.

The selected projects are presented in a public session taking place this Wednesday, October 24, in the Main Hall of the National Statistics Institute in Lisbon. The event will be attended by the Minister of the Presidency and Administrative Modernization, Maria Manuel Leitão Marques, and the Minister of Science, Technology and Higher Education, Manuel Heitor.

This initiative is integrated in the Program on Data Science and Artificial Intelligence in Public Administration, in the Innovation Roadmap and in axis 5 (research) of INCoDe.2030, developed by the Ministry of the Presidency and Administrative Modernization and the Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education. The Call aims to find innovative ways to relate data, find patterns, anticipate failures and optimize processes in the Public Administration, in an optimization that aims to benefit the whole society.
