 In December 2013, Estonia and Finland concluded the world’s first known digitally signed intergovernmental agreement focusing on common development and shared use of e-services between the two neighbours. This important milestone enables to offer a host of bilateral cross-border e-services for the governmental sector and social services, and is also paving the way for seamless access to online research services and e-infrastructures – the  Digital European Research Area.

Please join us for a reception, with reflections on the current and future developments in cross-border e-services by Mr Siim Sikkut,  National ICT Policy Adviser,  Government Office of Estonia, and the opportunities for a digital European Research Area (speaker to be confirmed)

The presentations will be followed by opportunities for networking with snacks and drinks.
