Better Legislation for Smoother Implementation

To begin with, we would like to share the key takeaways of the February virtual breakfast regarding the Interoperable Europe Act proposal's impact on our community. Along with the written summary, you can also re-watch the session on the Interoperable Europe YouTube channel.

For those who have a particular interest in regulatory reporting, we have excellent news: the new regulatory reporting training course is now available on the Interoperable Europe Academy platform. Take this opportunity to familiarise yourself with regulatory reporting and understand its importance.

Now, let’s explore some promising events happening in March and April! Firstly, please be reminded that registrations for the NIFO Webinar will be closing soon. If you haven't already registered, now is your chance to take advantage of this opportunity.

In March, the Big Data & AI World conference will take place, aiming to unlock the full potential of data and harness advancing technologies. Three other interesting events are scheduled for later in the month: the FOSS Backstage, on open source and community management; the 10^th Annual European Cyber Security, on high-level security and defence issues; and the ENDORSE 2023, a virtual event on the power of multilingual reference data.

Moving on to April, the CodeX FutureLaw event will delve into how technology is transforming the legal profession and the law itself. Lastly, the Delphi Economic Forum will bring together distinguished personalities from politics, business, diplomacy, and civil society for insightful discussions!

On 7 February, we hosted a virtual breakfast centred around the Interoperable Europe Act proposal, and the implications and opportunities it presents for our community. This event, the first of a webinar series, focused on two key aspects of the proposal: the Interoperable Europe Portal (Joinup), and the importance of training. We exchanged ideas on how to enhance the Joinup community space, making it more co-creative and interactive, while also taking note of your training needs and identifying topics that you would like us to cover in the future.

If you missed the event, you can read the main takeaways by clicking here. Additionally, you can watch the recording of the webinar on our YouTube channel.
