Interoperability is a key enabler for seamless exchange of data and building user-centric public services. You'll have a chance to discuss the topic with experts and practitioners during the European Week of Regions and Cities.Â
On 11 October (16:30-18:00 CET), a policy lab titled 'Interoperability: an enabler for breaking cross-border barriers'Â introduces the new Interoperable Europe policy to help all administrations create better public services for citizens and businesses that also work across borders.
Organised by the European Commission, the session invites participants to discuss the key features of the Interoperable Europe Act and their impact on local and regional policymakers. Among others, you'll meet one of our Platform experts, Marc Pattinson, during the session.
The policy lab takes place in Brussels at SQUARE Brussels Meeting Centre (Mont des Arts, 1000 Brussels), Hall 100. Participation is possible only in person. Advance registration is required.
Registration will open at the end of July. Get ready to sign up for a spot, because places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Registration is open between 31 July and 30 September.
