Dear BLSI community,

This summer edition of the BLSI newsletter brings back memories from a dynamic semester for our community with lots of activities, news, events, building together the BLSI learning path. You can refresh your memory through our dedicated What we do Joinup page.

As part of the newsletter, our team updates you on the key takeaways of the May virtual breakfast for both the Nordic collaboration and development of the NSG&B project and the role of APIs in data governance and digital coordination. Watch the sessions again on the Interoperable Europe YouTube channel!

Plus, Zsofia Sziranyi shared her insights on the interlinks between digital-ready policy making and legal interoperability supported by the upcoming Interoperable Europe Act, in an interview you should not miss out!

Further, you can check or revisit the highlights of the Access to Base Registries webinar, the Natural Language Processing (NLP) for Public Services session and the LEOS community webinar #5!

Finally, make sure to keep an eye on the upcoming events such as the 12th Samos 2022 Summit, in which our team is invited to share insights on discussions around the ICT-enabled governance, and the Artificial Intelligence: What's in it for the Public Sector? Policy conference organized by DIGIT and JRC.

Feel free to share any ideas on inspirational topics to discuss in the next virtual breakfasts, areas for improvement to consider for trainings, events to attend and promote through the BLSI community and anything else you would like to hear from us!
