On the 11th and 12th of April, the Belgian University KU Leuven will be the stage of Interoperable Europe Academy 2024: the two-day live Academy for advanced digital skills in the field of digital government and interoperability. This year, public servants from all levels of the government, policy makers and students will have the chance to get all the ins and outs of the Interoperable Europe Act and to explore the next steps.
The Interoperable Europe Academy 2024 will give the audience members an immersive (free of charge) teaching experience that will provide them an advanced understanding of the Interoperable Europe Act, its implications for public administrations in the EU, and practical ways and tools to unfold its full potential. From governance, interoperability assessments and regulatory sandboxes, to exploring how emerging technologies like AI play into the story, the audience will find new approaches to implementing the Interoperable Europe Act and finding how other initiatives in the field of digital government are perfectly aligned to the Interoperable Europe Act.
In turn, participants will have the opportunity to exchange ideas with the European Commission about public sector needs to implement the interoperability policy, and to ensure that the new upcoming learning materials aimed at capacity-building will be tailor-made to the challenges at hand.
A wide variety of workshops and panel discussions (that can be followed face to face or online) will involve highly professional experts from Interoperable Europe and the KU Leuven. These courses will help to disseminate knowledge and to spark interest in new fields in order to establish bridges for future cooperations both vertically and horizontally among public administrations in the EU.
Provisional Calendar:
On the 11th of April, the main focus will be on the Interoperable Europe Act and the various practical aspects that relate to it. These fields include interoperability monitoring, interoperability assessments, the share and reuse of solutions, and digital ready policy making.
The 12th of April will focus on the practical aspects in interoperability and digital transformation, such as emerging technologies in public administrations, data spaces, OSS Catalogue, the Once-Only Technical System (OOTS), and AI4Interoperability.
