<!-- START DESCRIPTION -->
<h2>Description</h2>
<p>The “Europe goes Once-Only” event series accelerates the onboarding of national competent authorities to the Once-Only Technical System. It brings experts working on Once-Only from all over Europe directly to the Member States to discuss, learn and overcome challenges together.</p>
<p>“Europe goes Once-Only – Portugal edition” is organised under the motto “Facing challenges <i>together</i>”. In this spirit, this event brings together <strong>competent authorities</strong> connecting to Once-Only with the <strong>national and Commission teams</strong> implementing this system. At the heart of this event are six interactive workshop tracks that will allow participants to understand how to onboard to Once-Only, share the challenges they face and collaboratively work on concrete solutions to overcome them.</p>
<p>Four workshop tracks are tailored to <strong>competent authorities</strong>, namely <strong>newcomers</strong> and those in the <strong>population, education and business domains</strong>. Two additional tracks will support <strong>national teams</strong> in <strong>preparing for live transactions</strong> and rolling out Once-Only services and provide a chance to discuss “hot topics”.</p>
<p>This event will also showcase <strong>national initiatives related to Once-Only</strong>, such as Mosaico and the Portuguese Digital Wallet. Finally, it will explore key issues related to <strong>User Experience</strong> as well as <strong>accessibility and usability</strong>.</p>
<p>“Europe goes Once-Only – Portugal edition” is organised by the Portuguese Administrative Modernization Agency (AMA) and the European Commission. It builds on the success of previous events organised in <a class="link external" target="_blank" href="https://ec.europa.eu/digital-building-blocks/sites/x/sIBtLQ"><span>Finland</span><span class="sr-only">(opens in a new tab)</span><span class="ico-external"></span></a> and <a class="link external" target="_blank" href="https://ec.europa.eu/digital-building-blocks/sites/display/OOTS/europe-goes-once-only-lithuania-edition"><span>Lithuania</span><span class="sr-only">(opens in a new tab)</span><span class="ico-external"></span></a>, which brought together more than 300 experts from 26 Member States and EFTA countries.</p>
