Let’s get digital!

We’re back with our Spring Newsletter which is blooming with interesting news and (virtual) events from the world of digital government, as well as highlights of exciting Joinup collections and solutions. What’s more, you’ll find an intriguing survey about the use of AI in the Public Sector (be sure to take it!), and behind-the-scenes information about Joinup’s upcoming revamp.

This edition’s “instructive conversation” is with a Portuguese agency that believes so truly in improving public services that they’ve made it part of their name. We interview Sara Carrasqueiro, a member of the Administrative Modernization Agency’s (AMA) Board of Directors, who presents in detail some of Portugal's reliable and innovative digital public services that AMA has helped put in motion.

Enjoy & stay safe!
