Research profile
María Elena López Reyes (Malena López Reyes) is a PhD fellow in the Open Data Ecosystems (ODECO) project. This initiative is part of the EU Horizon 2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network and operates under document number H2020-MSCA-ITN-2020, grant agreement 955569. Malena's research in ODECO focuses on engaging local governments in the open data ecosystems.
Malena's interest in open government data stems from her previous research at the Delft University of Technology. While studying the care system for assisting women against violence in Guadalajara, Mexico, she found that a lack of data interoperability between institutions could prevent women from accessing justice.
In the ODECO project, she focuses on maximizing the utilization of local open government data. She aims to understand the social use value of this data and identify the dynamics that influence its use in open data ecosystems. This approach aims to support the adjustment and implementation of strategies to engage users in local open data ecosystems.
Outside of her research, Malena is passionate about exploring how digital technology can enable kinder ways for communities to collectively address social and environmental challenges.
