@Ines Costa and Elena Goncearuc, CEF team, at ICT 2018 


On 6 December 2018, the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) Building Blocks team held a Knowledge Café at ICT 2018 in Vienna, Austria. The Knowledge Café presented the three new CEF Buidling Blocks: Context Broker, Big Data Test Infrastructure and eArchiving. 

ICT is a research and innovation event, focusing on the European Union's priorities in the digital transformation of society and industry. An excellent opportunity for CEF to present how the Building Blocks provide digital solution for European public services to transform to digital services in the digital age. 

João Rodrigues-Frade, Head of Sector CEF Building Blocks, DG DIGIT, presented the CEF Builiding Blocks and how they help realise the digital transformation of society and industry. 


"The CEF Building Blocks are common rules for basic interactions between public administrations, businesses and citizens which happen across borders or within a Member State. The Building Blocks include the authentication of Users (eID), the electronic signature of documents (eSignature), the secure exchange of documents (eDelivery) and their translation (eTranslation). By agreeing on common rules, it becomes possible to build services which work across borders and sectors, making the Digital Single Market a reality."
