Thanks to all participants First of all, we want to thank all our colleagues and stakeholders from Estonia, Finland, Norway , and Åland for the fruitful discussions on about cross-border data information exchange! They were really insightful! Here is a brief summary on the discussions in our workshop on 13th summary of the topics and results of the workshop, which was held as part of the Achieving the Smoothest Cross Border Mobility and Daily Life Through Digitalisation project's seminar of national experts in Helsinki on 13 October 2022.
In the first part of the workshop, the participants discussed To spark the discussion we introduced a stakeholder map which was . It has been constructed from our project's perspective . There was a good discussion about how the stakeholder map describes only the organizations and their relations to each other. It would be perhaps more useful to add a new layer of use case perspective to the map. to help us in visualising central actros, networks and solutions and their interdependencies in the field of digitalisation and cross-border data exchange on European, Nordic-Baltic and national level (Finland). We got valuable observations about e.g. to concider adding a layer of use case perspective. Also, eDelivery was brought up to the discussion because it was missing in the original and is now to placed on the map. By building with eDelivery, public and private organizations from different sectors can easily create a safe and interoperable channel to transfer documents and data among each other over a public or private network (read more here).
In the second part of the workshop , the participants were asked to give their participants gave input to the handbook on cross-border data exchange which is will be conducted by the Finnish Presidency Project. The participants gave their insights about challenges and solutions when it comes to cross-border Keeping the EIF (European Interoperability Framework) in mind, the challenges and solutions were brought up especially from the point of view of individual identification and cross-border data transfer. The The participants identified at least following challenges:
- cross-border identity matching
- legislative changes are slow
- there is no standard that everyone uses
- sufficient resources are lacking
- national solutions are not tailored to cross-border data exchange.
In addition to the previous, data is in different places, in different format, and in different languages. Luckily, there are also solutions which tackle some of the challenges: , e.g. European Digital Identity Wallet, eDelivery, X-Road, EMREX, Single Digital Gateway Once Only Technical System, European Data Spaces, and Gaia-X. Just to mention a few of them.
In the last part of the workshop, the participants wrote down their Reflecting on the key takeaways of from the seminar day. It stood out clearly , we can only say that we have similar challenges in every country , and we need coordination which that is not only cross-border, but also cross-sectoral. We also naturally need clear and common goals, and we should identify better recognize our common capabilities better. FurthermoreIn addition, it is always fruitful good to have get a status update and information about what is happening going on in our neighboring countries and regions.
