#ConnectingEurope

Hello,

Welcome to the latest edition of the CEF Building Blocks Bulletin.

The Innovation and Networks Executive Agency (INEA) has extended the submission deadline for the current CEF call for proposals until 25 June 2020. Over €10 million is available for the CEF Building Blocks. This call offers support for eTranslation (€4 million), Blockchain (€3 million), eDelivery (€0.9 million) and eID & eSignature (€3 million).

This week we look at how the CEF Context Broker and Big Data Test Infrastructure Building Blocks are helping public authorities use data as a strategic asset to combat the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. These solutions are open and free to everyone. If you are unsure where to start, just reply to this email and our teams are ready to help.

We also look at how the CEF Building Blocks help Europe's Digital Innovation Hubs build Smart Cities. We also have several upcoming webinars.

Kind regards,

The CEF Digital team
