Hello everyone,

We are nearing the end of the current European financial period. This means 2019 is one of the last chances for you to benefit from CEF grant funding. Until 14 May 2019, calls for proposals are open for eTranslation (€ 4 million), eID (€ 4.5 million), eSignature (€ 0.5 million), eDelivery (€ 1 million) and eInvoicing (€ 6.2 million).

In this edition we have a new Connecting Europe Success Story looking at how CEF can help Europe's regions become Smart Regions. We also have reports from events around the continent, from Dublin to Vienna.

So, happy reading and - between now and our next bulletin - perhaps keep an eye on our events calendar and the CEF Monitoring Dashboard, to see how we are connecting Europe, together!

Kind regards,

The CEF Digital Team
