The European Committee of the Regions organises an event in cooperation with CSC for experts in the field of digitalization and those who want to influence the Finnish and EU digital policies. The workshop examines the opportunities offered by the European Digital Europe Program. It will particularly focus on what should be done in the near future and what should be underlined during the Finnish EU Presidency. EU's Digital Europe program, for which the Commission's proposal is currently in the formal negotiation process, will be presented during the workshop.

Attendees:

Experts in the field and those who want to influence the Finnish and EU digital policies

The workshop will be implemented as a brainstorming and conversational Learning Café application.

Please note that the event will be mostly held in Finnish.
