Volume #27

Hello everyone,

In this edition, our latest Connecting Europe Success Story explores how the Agency for Digital Italy (Agenzia per l’Italia Digitale) developed the first browser plug-in to ensure website authenticity based on European standards for trust, as set out in the eIDAS Regulation. We also explore how the CEF Building Blocks raise EU citizens' quality of life through the development of Smart Cities. In addition, this bulletin highlights recent Building Block technical udpates and looks ahead to the CEF Building Blocks at the Digital Assembly 2019 in Bucharest, Romania.

As ever, keep an eye on our events calendar and the CEF Monitoring Dashboard and we'll be back soon with another CEF Building Blocks Bulletin.

Kind regards,

The CEF Digital Team
