The final results of the Call Scientific Research and Technological Development Projects in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence in Public Administration - 2018 have been released. The 15 approved projects involve partnerships between R&D units and public administration entities, on topics such as health, public transport, water management or the use of data from the European Space Agency's IPSentinel system. In all, the projects represent an investment of almost 4 million euros over three years.

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

This initiative is part of the Data Science and Artificial Intelligence in Public Administration Programme, the Innovation Roadmap and 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 of linking data, finding patterns, anticipating failures and optimizing processes in Public Administration, in an optimization that is intended to benefit society as a whole.
