The NSTA has received a £107,000 grant from the regulators’ pioneer fund to develop tools that improve access to North Sea data: one workstream will build an enhanced geospatial data viewer consolidating datasets from various government bodies, and the other will create an AI chatbot to help users navigate the NSTA’s open data and national data repository platforms, with a view to expanding further; both initiatives aim to make data more accessible and support better decision-making, with results to be evaluated in April 2026.
