Job Description & Benefits

Description:
DeustoTech offers the opportunity to conduct cutting-edge research into the use of Data Spaces for the
execution of federated algorithms that enable fair management of the advantages and duties of energy
communities in which vulnerable people live. The automatic generation of data models using AI technology
will enable the construction of a unified data model for Data Spaces that facilitates adoption by stakeholders
involved in the socio-economic ecosystem. In addition, the design of a federated algorithm that allows
decision-making without sharing the raw data of stakeholders in its entirety adds a first-rate scientific
challenge. The opportunity to carry out the design and validation in a real environment, within a European
collaborative project, gives this opportunity enormous potential.
