Government of the Republic of Serbia
The Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development (MESTD), in cooperation with the Social Inclusion and Poverty Reduction Unit of the Government of the Republic of Serbia (SIPRU) published an award competition entitled “Visualization of MESTD Open Data”.
The goal of the competition was to increase interest among students in programming, to stimulate secondary schools to develop work with interested students, as well as to promote the concept of open data.
Three secondary school programming teams applied for the competition, producing visualizations of various datasets (or combinations of datasets) from the MESTD information system available at the MESTD open data portal.
