We warmly welcome you to participate in the publication seminar for the baseline study report on data exchange!
In 2021, Finland is the chair of the Nordic Council of Ministers. One priority project for the presidency year is Achieving the World's Smoothest Cross-Border Mobility and Daily Life Through Digitalisation, financed by the Nordic Council of Ministers.
The project will create a model and practices for enhancing cross-border data exchange. The first stage of the project was a baseline study of the current situation on cross-border data exchange. The baseline study report will be published by the Nordic Council of Ministers in their publication series Tema Nord.
The seminar will start with a publication event for the baseline study report, but mainly time will be spent analysing the report findings and working together on the plans for the project’s work for 2022–2023. The workshops will be separate for each work package (studying, health services, legislative data).
When the final report "Baseline study of cross-border data exchange in the Nordic and Baltic countries is published, you will find the link to the report here.
If you have any questions on the seminar or the project itself, please don't hesitate to contact us!
