Dear readers,

Welcome to the September edition of our newsletter!

Although some of us might still have fresh memories from the summer, the autumn season is quickly approaching and with it – upcoming events and new initiatives which we are excited to share with you!

SEMIC, the annual semantic interoperability conference, is coming back on 8 December 2021! Book your calendars and stay tuned to be among the first ones to register for the event. In the meantime, the registration for our info session at the EU Regions Week is open and we are looking forward to seeing you on the participants’ list! The colleagues from ELISE will also host a Participatory Lab during the event.

However, it is not all about events! In the news section you can read about the latest versions of our solution IMAPS. There is also an article about the “Digital Response to COVID-19" collection on Joinup, which now has more than 500 listed solutions! Finally, the EU Datathon is launching “The teams behind the apps” video series.

Speaking of video, do not miss to check the new SEMIC's video teaser.
