Description

The third OOTS Implementers Café will provide participants with useful information about the reuse of eIDAS eID in the context of the Once-Only Technical System, by providing concrete examples from its use by EU Member States.

eIDAS nodes allow authentication to any online procedure portal in Europe using a national eID.
eID is a set of services provided by the European Commission to enable the mutual recognition of national electronic identification schemes, or eIDs, across borders. It allows European citizens to use their national eIDs when accessing online services from other European countries.

Alongside eDelivery, eID is one out of a catalogue of reusable building blocks allowing EU Member States to realise the Once-Only Technical System.

This event will provide another opportunity for participants to prepare their participation in the 2023 OOTS Projectathon series. This online event will allow participants to better understand what OOTS Projectathons are and why they are useful for any team working on or interested in building part of the Once-Only Technical System.

The European Commission is organising a series of Projectathons to help the national implementation teams from the EU Member States conceptualise, test and implement the Once-Only Technical System.

The OOTS Projectathons are events where different systems connect under one roof and perform a marathon of peer-to-peer interoperability and compliance tests in a structured environment for several days. The tests are supervised and verified by a neutral expert, who volunteers to act as Monitor.

Currently, the projectathons are expected to take place in April, June and October 2023.
