Open Data Academy Challenge Award

The academic community plays a decisive role in the production of knowledge and innovation, which are driving forces behind the energy transition.

ODAC

The Open Data Academy Challenge aims to reward dissertations and master's projects that focus on the theme of energy transition and that use data from the Open Data Portal as a source for their research.

This initiative is aimed at master's students at universities and polytechnics from the north to the south of mainland Portugal.

With this project to disseminate Open Data to the scientific and technological system, E-REDES aims to encourage solutions that transform electricity grid data into value for society.
