SEMIC 2024 - Workshop for early-career researchers

In this workshop, we will explore the forefront of digital government and interoperability research at our workshop dedicated to early-career researchers. Co-organized by the Belgian Presidency, Digital Flanders, the Joint Research Centre (JRC)’s FreshMind initiative, and the Interoperable Europe Academy, this workshop offers a platform for PhD candidates and early post-docs to showcase their research, receive valuable feedback, and engage in discussions with leading experts and peers.

Participants will explore topics such as cross-border interoperability, digital governance, data-driven policymaking, and emerging technologies in the public sector.

The event includes expert panel discussions, and interactive sessions aimed at advancing interoperable public services and digital-ready administrations.

TEMA policy manager Alessandro Paciaroni from project partner The Lisbon Council participated in the workshop with the presentation of the research "SOS - Emergency call: A description of the current governance of interoperability in emergency management and key recommendations to enhance its maturity". This study is contextualised within the current actions to enhance interoperability of cross-border public services in the European Union. Specifically, this study focuses on the governance of interoperability between technology, products and services in the field of emergency management. This study is part of the activities conducted on cross-border interoperable emergency services under the Horizon Europe project TEMA (Trusted Extremely precise Mapping and prediction for emergency mAnagement).
