2025 edition
In May 2025, we hosted the Interoperable Europe Seasonal School, bringing together public sector professionals, policy-makers, academics, and digital transformation enthusiasts to explore the latest in interoperability, digital public services, and GovTech innovation.
The 2025 edition of the Seasonal School “New Skills for a Successful Interoperable Europe”, shifts the focus from theory to real-world application by incorporating interactive experiences illustrating high-level concepts with practical case studies. Participants engaged with experts, explored best practices, and enhanced their knowledge of interoperability in public administrations.

2024 edition
The Directorate General for Digital Services (DIGIT) and KU Leuven hosted the Interoperable Europe Academy 2024 that took place on the 11th and 12th of April 2024 at KU Leuven in hybrid mode.
This two-day event included discussions about the new Interoperable Europe Act and the changes it would bring. Lectures, workshops and panels provided participants with practical and theoretical insights on interoperability enablers, like the European Interoperability Framework, interoperability assessments and the overarching interoperability governance. The practical aspect focused on interoperability deliverables such as Data Spaces and Smart Cities as well as the use of emerging technologies like AI in public administrations.
We invited all public servants, from local to European level, as well as private sector, academics, students and others interested to participate in our event.
