SUMMARY:How Standards Can Pave the Way Towards the Right to Access Information – Online\, 24 March 2026
DESCRIPTION:Public access to information increasingly depends on how well digital public systems are designed\, aligned\, and interoperable. While European standards provide a strong reference framework\, their impact ultimately depends on how they are implemented within public administrations.   \nThis webinar explores how EU-aligned standards for open data and interoperability are being translated into practice through InDiCo-Global Open Call projects. Drawing on concrete experiences from Mexico and Guatemala\, the session will examine how semantic standards\, interoperability frameworks\, and capacity-building efforts support more transparent\, efficient\, and inclusive digital government.   \nThe discussion will also reflect on what it takes to move from policy frameworks to operational deployment\, and how cooperation between public authorities\, standardisation bodies\, and implementation actors can support this transition across regions.   \nFeatured Open Call 1 Beneficiaries  \n\nBridging the Gap Between European and Mexican ICT Standards in Open Data  \nEnhancing Digital Government in Guatemala through European Standards  \n\n Agenda:  \n\nWelcome and context setting\nScene-setter: From standards to public service delivery\nProject results and next steps\nModerated discussion and audience Q&A\nKey takeaways and forward look\nClosing remarks\n\n			\n				REGISTER HERE
