Building bridges for digital Europe: Interoperable Europe (IOPEU)
Monitoring Collection
The European Interoperability Framework (EIF)
[https://ec.europa.eu/isa2/eif_en/] was adopted by the European
Commission in 2017 to provide guidance on how interoperable digital
public services can be set up. This framework offers EU public
administrations 47 concrete recommendations on improving governance of
their interoperability activities, facilitating cross-organisational
relationships, and streamlining processes that support end-to-end
digital services.  

In order to make the recommendations actionable for users of the
framework, the Commission created Interoperable Europe (IOPEU)
Monitoring Collection
[https://interoperable-europe.ec.europa.eu/collection/iopeu-monitoring],
together with the newly updated EIF Solutions Finder
[https://interoperable-europe.ec.europa.eu/collection/iopeu-monitoring/eif-solutions-finder].
The solutions page is designed to guide national public
administrations with the necessary tools to align their National
Interoperability Frameworks with the EIF to promote interoperability
at both a national and European level. The IOPEU Monitoring Collection
also contains guiding documents focused on the EIF’s policy context
[https://interoperable-europe.ec.europa.eu/collection/iopeu-monitoring/policy-context]
and implementation needs, supported and reusable solutions focused on
alignment and implementation of the framework, and a Knowledge Center
[https://interoperable-europe.ec.europa.eu/collection/iopeu-monitoring/knowledge-centre].  

With the EIF Solutions Finder
[https://interoperable-europe.ec.europa.eu/collection/iopeu-monitoring/eif-solutions-finder],
users can ensure that the interoperability principles of the EIF are
applied so that open data is accessible and usable across all sectors.
To further extend user knowledge, the Commission created a News and
Events page
[https://interoperable-europe.ec.europa.eu/collection/iopeu-monitoring/news-and-events]
where events and activities are listed to support knowledge exchange,
mutual learning, and capacity building. 

Whether you are interested in building open data platforms, aligning
the EU digital policies, or curious about interoperability across
Europe, the IOPEU Monitoring Collection contains the guidance, tools,
and community needed to succeed. Make use of data.europa.eu
[https://data.europa.eu/en] to learn more about interoperability and
understand its implementation throughout Europe.
