The Foundation for Science and Technology is promoting a Program in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence in Public Administration through public Calls to support new R&D projects involving partnerships between public administration and scientific institutions. The projects should be aimed at deepening the processing of public data and stimulating the production of new knowledge relevant to citizens, based on the use of advanced artificial intelligence and data science techniques.
The central aim of this initiative is therefore to promote scientific knowledge based on large amounts of data available to the public administration, to aid decision-making processes and the definition of public policies, so that these decisions are increasingly based on in-depth knowledge of reality, and technically supported by evidence rather than intuition.
The possible areas of intervention are diverse, including, for example, health, employment, education, sustainable development and road prevention.
