ODECO is a 4-year Horizon 2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network initiative (H2020-MSCA-ITN-2020, grant agreement 955569). The central aim of the ODECO consortium network is to train the next generation of creative and innovative early stage open data researchers, to unlock their creative and innovative potential to address current and future challenges in the creation of user driven, circular and inclusive open data ecosystem.

The programme runs between October 2021 and September 2025 and will deliver 15 PhD degrees, in joint supervision and training between the public and private sectors. The ODECO consortium is an integrated team of beneficiaries and partners. The beneficiaries are composed of European top universities and a research institute with extensive expertise in high-quality open data research, including both governance and technical aspects. The beneficiaries joined forces with a number of partner organizations, which results in a network in nine European countries (NL, BE, FR, ES, IT, EL, DK, IE, FI). Together, they are covering multiple domains from the public, private, academic, and non-profit sectors.

ODECO offers 15 PhD projects for Early Stage Researchers (ESRs), each of them covering a specific part of the open data ecosystem supervised by leading European beneficiaries.
