Higher Education Open Data Competition page

The Department for Education (DfE) is exploring ways to create the most value from its data on graduate outcomes to help prospective higher education students make better decisions about their future.

The Higher Education Open Data Competition (ODC) is looking for ideas on how to create accessible, sustainable, and innovative digital tools for prospective students using the Longitudinal Education Outcomes (LEO) earnings data and selected government datasets.

The competition is open to both organisations and individuals and will be hosted through Innovate UK’s Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI) webpage. The competition page is located here.

The competition will open on 25 June with a deadline for applications by noon on 15 August.

Working in collaboration with Department of Education, ODI Leeds will run a series of warm up events followed by an innovation event. The warm up events are an opportunity to ask questions, make suggestions, and understand more about the datasets. The innovation event will be a very active and engaged session bringing together a network of people, organisations and companies to share and test ideas before submitting them to the competition.

Join us in Newcastle on Monday 2 July at TuSpark for the first warm up event.

This warm up event is being delivered by plan digital.
