You can now obtain an Interoperability Certification from the Interoperable Europe Academy – a recognition of your essential knowledge on interoperability and digital public service delivery in Europe.
This certification provides an opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of key concepts, policies, and tools that support the development of more connected and effective public administrations. Importantly, it is not tied to course enrolment, offering greater flexibility to learners and professionals who already possess relevant knowledge or experience.
