The National Strategy for Smart Territories (ENTI) was represented by the Agency for Administrative Modernization (AMA) at the 3rd International Conference on Public Policy and Data Science (CIPPCD 2025), an initiative promoted by the International Network on Public Policy and Data Science (RP3CD) and organized by the University of Aveiro. The event took place from May 19 to 21 as part of the Open Week of the Department of Social, Political and Territorial Sciences (DCSPT).

With the theme "Smart Territories," the conference aimed to explore the role of data science in the design, implementation, and evaluation of public policies that foster more efficient, sustainable, and socially balanced territories. The initiative sought to strengthen territorial coordination, resource management efficiency, environmental balance, and greater citizen participation in decision-making processes.

The conference program featured the presentation of over 130 scientific papers, along with workshops, labs, plenary sessions, and roundtables that brought together experts, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers. The thematic areas explored ranged from smart and sustainable cities, open data, and big data to artificial intelligence, governance, and models for sustainable urban and regional development.

AMA’s participation included contributions to two thematic roundtables held on May 20. In the morning, João Roque Fernandes, Member of the AMA Board of Directors, spoke at Roundtable 1, focused on “From Design to Decision: Strategies for Smart Territories.” In the afternoon, Roundtable 2, titled “From Strategy to Implementation: Perspectives and Practices on the Ground,” featured Pedro Sarmento from ENTI.

Through this participation, ENTI and AMA reaffirmed their commitment to developing smarter and more resilient territories, encouraging the exchange of experiences and the sharing of knowledge among academia, society, and policymakers.
