2023 Prato – ACROSS – Citizens’ data sovereignty in delivering digital public services

ACROSS – Towards user journeys for the delivery of cross-border services ensuring data sovereignty is a project co-funded by the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation framework programme. The main objective of the ACROSS project is to provide the means (tools, methods, and techniques) that will enable user-centric design and implementation of interoperable cross-border (digital) public services compliant with the current European regulations. The private sector will be able to interconnect their services while ensuring the data sovereignty of the citizens, who can set the privacy level that will allow the public and private sector to access their data based on their requirements.  To achieve these smart user-centric services, ACROSS will provide social and technical enablers integrated into an ecosystem, the ACROSS ecosystem, to co-design, co-create and co-deliver user-centric, accessible, interoperable (with other Public Administrations and with third-party private service providers) and regulation-compliant cross-border digital services, while assuring the (personal) data sovereignty and control to the citizens.
