Interoperability is in the air
Another Joinup Newsletter has hit the virtual newsstands! In this Summer edition we’ve made sure to include the latest – and most refreshing – updates from the world of digital public services. As usual, interoperability is our common link and Joinup the medium through which we present to you all these interesting solutions, news, events, and tips and tricks.

But there’s more! This edition’s interview is with a group of people that helps keep Joinup in the forefront of digital government activities. To find out what’s coming to Joinup, in both visual and technical means, we talked with Joinup’s EC Project Officers Cristina COSMA and Victoria KALOGIROU (DIGIT D2), with Florin BOTA – Head of Sector for Data and Content Management/Operations and Security (DIGIT D1), as well as with Ludovic MAYOT – Joinup’s Project Manager (TRASYS International).

Happy summer reading!
