Digital infrastructures, skills and technologies are imperative for working, learning, entertaining, socialising, shopping and accessing everything from health services to culture. It is by building and deploying technological capabilities in a way that empowers people and businesses that Europe will address digital divides and will become digitally sovereign in an interconnected world.
In this context, the European Commission, Parliament and Council decided to establish, for the very first time, a human-centred digital strategy: the Digital Decade.
In March 2021, the European Commission presented a vision and avenues for Europe’s digital transformation by 2030 around four cardinal points: digital skills, digital infrastructures, digital businesses and digital public services. In September 2021, the Commission proposed a Decision establishing the Digital Policy Programme. It was adopted on 14th December 2022, and entered into force on 9th January 2023.
Agreeing to establish the Digital Decade policy programme 2030, the three institutions endorsed common values-based objectives and concrete targets for Europe’s digital transformation, with a robust governance mechanism and a set of tools to accelerate and deepen Multi-Country projects.
Closely linked to the policy programme, the Declaration on the Digital Decade rights and principles was signed on 15th December, which presents a comprehensive set of rights and principles that Member States and the EU will implement jointly to ensure the Union’s digital transformation respects a values-based framework.
The present webinar aims to present the Digital Decade Policy Programme (DDPP) to the broad public shortly after its entry into force, mainly to showcase its importance for various actors and at various levels.
The webinar will be divided into two parts:
