European Interoperability Strategy

European Interoperability Strategy

On the 16th of December 2010, the European Commission adopted the Communication “Towards interoperability for European public services”. The Communication introduces both the European Interoperability Strategy and the European Interoperability Framework, which should guide ICT policy for public bodies across the Union. This event is devoted to a discussion about the recently adopted EU policy on interoperability in the public sector. Relevant EU documents can be found here: http://ec.europa.eu/isa/strategy/index_en.htm

Please join the discussion!
