uri=OJ:L_202502414 DIGITAL-2024-BESTUSE-06-INNOV-ADMIN Innovative and Connected Public Administrations MOTIVATION Proposal should build on the results of the funded project under this topic Call text (as on F&T portal) To effectively progress in developing and testing elements necessary for cross-border digital public services and pave the way towards seamless digital public services across the Union.
The objective of the action is to allow Member States to work together, jointly identify needs and develop interoperability assets needed for cross-border digital public services, leveraging collective resources and expertise to achieve impactful results unattainable by single entities.
The MCP supports the implementation of the Interoperable Europe Act by enhancing collaboration among stakeholders to contribute to the priorities of the Interoperable Europe Agenda, focusing on improving public services through seamless data exchange and addressing interoperability challenges. This effort aligns with the EU’s Digital Decade goal of ensuring full online access to public services and secure eID solutions by 2030.
Citizens and businesses demand user-focused, inclusive digital public services that are accessible through multiple channels and align with European values. Public administrations are urged to become more data-driven and adopt integrated approaches while ensuring safe use of AI.
The MCP aims to improve interoperability by supporting existing and developing new solutions, enhancing collaboration among stakeholders for cross-border services, and scaling up innovative solutions. It also focuses on implementing EU policies, particularly on AI and Data Spaces, to streamline processes and improve interoperability across networks with common data standards.
In order to ensure consistency with the Digital Decade Polic Programme Decision (EU) 2022/2481 (article 10. 3), there is an update and clarification on the Consortium composition: In the second point of the Consortium composition section on page 15 'Another MCP implementation mechanism...' , 'eligible countries' were replaced by 'Member States'.
