#ConnectingEurope

Hello,

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

As countries around Europe hesitantly start to soften lockdown measures, everyone at the CEF team hopes you and your families remain well and safe. Take a look at our dedicated COVID-19 campaign for more detailed information on how our free, innovative digital solutions can be used to combat the effects of the virus.

This week, we look at how the Spanish city of Cartagena is using Context Broker for real-time, data-driven insights to curb water usage and air pollution, helping meet the EU's ambitious 20-20-20 climate and energy goals.

As of June 2020, the CEF eSignature team will be calling on interested Trusted List Scheme Operators (TLSOs) to participate in a project to remove non-conformant trust services from Trusted Lists. In addition, we have upcoming webinars on Context Broker and eArchiving.

Do you have a story to tell us about how you are Connecting Europe? Just reply to this email!

Kind regards,

The CEF Digital team
