About the role

🌍 Introduction

  • EPDs are published by dozens of program operators across Europe, each with its own database.
  • ECO Platform aggregates many of them, but often months late and never completely. Existing search tools rely on that single source.

  • This is one possible setup. Reshape it or pitch your own project!

  • Deployed the tool

πŸ‘€ Profile

  • Team of 2–5 students with at least one member who codes
