The Government has launched a tool called ELISA, which provides citizens and analysts with up-to-date information on the implementation of the Recovery Plan investments.
This tool, accessible through the Recovery Plan’s website, allows monitoring the execution of European funds through the analysis of public data from the National Grants Database (BDNS) and the Public Sector Contracting Platform (PLACSP), which are exploited through automated website data collection techniques (web scraping) and machine learning.
In this sense, the ELISA tool allows to track calls for tenders and grants with Next Generation EU funds, as well as their resolution, both those managed directly by the General Administration of the State, and those transferred to the Autonomous Communities through the Sectoral Conferences and those executed by local corporations.
