Stockholm University participate in the large-scale pilot project Digital Europe for all (DE4A).

We take the lead on Semantic Interoperability Solutions as well as Sustainable impact and new governance models. We also contribute in Inventory of current eGovernment landscape, Architecture vision and framework, Common component design and development, Legal compliance and consensus building as well as in the pilots Doing business abroad and Moving abroad.

Digital Europe for all (DE4A) is an EU project which effectively puts forward a new member state-driven pilot aimed at compliance with Single Digital Gateway and aligned with EU eGovernment Action Plan 2016-2020, Tallinn Declaration and EIF Implementation Strategy. DE4A has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program, under G.A. No. 870635.

Project description

Starting from the needs and capacities of the member states, DE4A’s scalable, holistic, flexible approach focuses on high-quality fully online procedures accessible through the Single Digital Gateway (SDG) by building on an extended interoperability toolbox and on state-of-the-art. It enables an open and comprehensive environment and platform for collaboration and innovation, leveraging common eGov baseline patterns for secure, privacy-preserving and trustworthy realisation of essential once-only and relevant-only principles, and with re-use of existing and new building blocks and digital service infrastructures at national and EU-wide levels.

Innovative technologies like blockchain, machine learning, self-emerging ontologies and zero-knowledge proofs will be addressed for effective sharing of common services. Pilots involving secure access to key administrative procedures of real life and business events, shall highlight aspects of the technical ecosystem available for the SDG implementation, prove their technical viability and gauge the performance and degree in which non-functional requirements can be accommodated. DE4A includes 27 partners and has a duration of three years.
