About

DECIDO (eviDEnce and Cloud for more InformeD and effective pOlicies)

Project Coordinated by Engineering (IT)

Policymaking is a process that takes place in stages, starting from the initiation of a policy to its implementation and subsequent evaluation. In this context, the EU-funded DECIDO project enables public administrations (PAs) to take full advantage of shared data, analytical tools and methodologies, computational power, cloud services and co-created data for the development of better targeted and more effective evidence-based policies. The aim is to help PAs leverage the capabilities and services offered by the European cloud infrastructure. By developing solid and realistic business plans to ensure the long-term sustainability of the results, the project will contribute to boosting the perceived legitimacy of authorities.

EGI Foundation Role in the Project

EGI will contribute to identify the services, tools and data made available by EOSC in order to better address the specific needs of public authorities, provision the the cloud-based infrastructure for supporting policy making. EGI will also contribute to the exploitation and dissemination of project results, and the establishment of a EOSC competence centre for the support of data-driven evidence-based policy making.

EOSC Competence Centre for Public Authorities

DECIDO has been working on the EOSC Competence Centre for Public Authorities (EOSC CC4PA) concept to provide a sustainable path to foster the bilateral collaboration between representatives from the Public Sector with EOSC experts and consultants, so that the two communities can interact and profit from each other in a win-win situation. DECIDO has been acting as an incubator bringing together project pilot representatives and their teams of technical and policy experts, and the EOSC infrastructure and service supply side. This collaboration focuses on creating a channel for the exchange of support and technical expertise, that helps finding the right services for the needs of use cases, and to provide a channel to facilitate exploitation and outreach. 

The Competence Centre has kick-started during the DECIDO project, and it is open to the rest of Public Policy Cluster Projects  and any further interested parties.

Main stakeholders include Public Authorities and their Technical IT Providers on the User Side and EOSC service and technical providers on the supply side.  

The main value proposition for each of the stakeholders is: 

  • For DECIDO and other cluster projects the EOSC CC for Public Authorities creates an additional avenue to facilitate the onboarding of developed services and results to the EOSC marketplace providing a channel for exploitation. 
  • Public Authorities and Technical Partners are provided with fine-tuned consultancy, support, and training to facilitate access to EOSC ecosystem related computing infrastructure, data, and services.  
  • For EOSC Governance the concept provides a headway into a previously untapped market segment, thanks to the regular input and feedback on their specific needs, requirements, validation and testing, and overall endorsement and reassurance for other consumers in EOSC.  
  • For EOSC Providers/Ecosystem is an opportunity for expansion of their user base and overall adoption of their services, data, and technologies among Public Authorities.
