<p>On 7 June 2023, the European Commission published the official ‘aftermovie’ of the <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/digital-building-blocks/sites/display/OOTS/Projectathon1" target="_blank">first Once-Only Technical System (OOTS) Projectathon</a> (19-21 April 2023).</p>
<p>A Projectathon is a marathon of peer-to-peer interoperability and compliance tests in a structured environment. This Projectathon was a crucial step in the development, testing and deployment into production of the Once-Only Technical System components that underpin a national Once-Only implementation.</p>
<p><a href="https://ec.europa.eu/digital-building-blocks/sites/display/OOTS/About+OOTS" target="_blank">Once-Only</a> will help to ease the administrative burden on EU citizens and companies, with resource savings even greater for smaller companies with more limited resources.</p>
<p>In the words of one participant, “for us the Projectathon is a great opportunity to be on the same page with the other member states […] we want to achieve synergies between all EU countries to gain the best product for EU residents”.</p>
