Think interoperability

The Joinup Winter Newsletter is now available, with the latest digitalisation news and interoperability-related collections and solutions. Included, also, are upcoming e-Government events as well as the latest Joinup tips & tricks.

Opening this edition is Natalia Aristimuño Pérez, EC Director of Digital Services (DIGIT), who would like to share the following about the platform:

“Joinup is here to help European administrations in their digitalisation journey. For nearly 10 years, the platform has been the entry point for the interoperability implementation in Europe, assisting the public sector in finding solutions and best practices for planning, developing, and (re)using interoperable assets in their digital public services. Hence, Joinup will play a central role in the implementation of the future Interoperable Europe Act, supporting it as a community platform and one-stop-shop for shared and reusable interoperability solutions.”
