Science dissemination mass events - able to involve hundreds of thousands of people spread over all states of a country of continental dimensions such as Brazil - represent an enormous logistical challenge. The main difficulties are the ability to communicate to people spread over thousands of kilometers, the organization of the distribution of medals, the organization of several regional sub-events, among many others. The automation of this process is therefore critical. The OLIMPO - Management System for Scientific Olympiads and Events - was the first system designed and developed in order to attend the specific demands of science dissemination events. While this system allows better management of a range of activities, it opens new doors for science dissemination actions, allowing them to be achieved and improved. At the same time, this system also becomes a source of research and a data collection about public policies, allowing their improvement and the proposition of new actions. This work aims to characterize the work under progress based on this system, as well as it presents this work’s horizons, prospects and challenges for years to come.
