Pordata


Access to free, unbiased information is at the root of freedom of speech and choice, and can enhance the political, economic and social evolution of a country.

This sentence could sum up the Pordata project, developed by "Fundação Francisco Manuel dos Santos". It is a huge database of social, political and economic data, coming from several decades back and that actually provides a clear overview of the evolution of the Portuguese society and its comparison with the rest of Europe.

And, this incredible project, has just been distinguished as one of the best e-Science and Technology projects of 2010, at the World Summit Awards promoted by the UN. Congratulations and keep up the good work!
