Even if 2022 is already a couple of weeks old, we wish our community members a happy and healthy year! Building on the achievements of the last year, we look forward to continue collaborating with you on making legislation fit for digital age. In the new year, we will keep organizing events with prominent speakers, as well as sharing news and findings on digital-ready policies, including practical instruments to make legislation digital-ready. Last but not least, we will enrich our BLSI learning path, the first videos of which you can find on the EU academy.

Without further ado, we are glad to invite you to our first virtual breakfast of the year on existing and upcoming applications of emerging technologies in the regulatory reporting process. Do not miss an opportunity to learn how innovative practices can reduce the burden on SMEs by registering for our webinar via this form. Our team also encourages you to check out the upcoming conference Masters of Digital 2022, which will run debates on the use of AI, Green Transition, Digital healthcare and many more.

Furthermore, we are excited to share with you our newly issued paper on multidisciplinary teams in digital-ready policymaking, which we worked on in 2021. The European Commission’s better regulation tool #28 on digital-ready policymaking identifies multidisciplinary teams as the key enabler for digital-ready policymaking. Our paper explores how to foster such teamwork, what are its benefits and challenges, and which professional profiles should contribute to it.

In 2022, our team has planned more interesting BLSI events and news – stay tuned for more information! Above all, we count on you to help our community expand. We encourage you to share your ideas and needs with us through our BLSI JoinUp page or via e-mail and we will prepare our next event / content together!

Kind regards,

The Legal Interoperability Team
