Workshop on Open Source key areas for Digital Autonomy

Three Directorate-Generals from the European Commission (Connect, DIGIT and GROW) are joining forces to organize a physical event in Brussels to discuss Open Source in four key areas for Digital Autonomy.

The study on the impact of Open Source in the EU economy  confirmed the relevance of this subject. The twelve workshops organized in December 2022 by the European Commission have served to pave the way to relevant political initiatives. This time, the Commission is focusing on the areas that are prone to be the most relevant for Open Source.

The first area is Cybersecurity and trustworthiness of ICT systems, which is of crucial importance in today’s Digital Europe. The second session will elaborate the transformation of the automotive design towards a connected, carbon-neutral and customer-centric transport with the Software-defined vehicle(SDV). The third panel will analyze how to be successful and manage the challenges in implementing open source projects and solutions in European public services. The final session will develop how to provide and use as much as possible Open Source for developing Data Spaces.

Workshops will benefit from the viewpoints of panelists recognized as experts in the workshop topic.
