The Sharing and Reuse award
Throughout Europe, public administrations have developed IT solutions and services for the needs of their organisation. As many of these organisations in Europe have comparable activities, the solutions developed could often be easily reused by other public administrations. By sharing and reusing existing and successful software solutions in Europe, public administrations can learn from one another and avoid reinventing the wheel. This would not only help save time and costs for users and administrations alike but also improve interoperability between systems. To promote the visibility of
