Public Services and Blockchain: Why, why not, what, and how?
The TOKEN project has worked with four real-life use cases in smart cities to build, test, and pilot how distributed ledger technologies (DLTs), such as blockchain, can be used in public services. Bringing together policymakers, researchers, developers, and public officials from different levels of government, front-runner thinkers, and industry, the event will share learnings from concrete use cases and insight into what the future might hold for DLTs in public services and beyond.
The event will be organized on 14 March 2023, 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM CET
Live at the Old Town Hall of Leuven, Belgium – online via Teams

France's Digital Strategy for Education calls for the development of “digital commons”
The French Ministry of Education published its Digital Strategy for 2023-2027.
https://www.education.gouv.fr/strategie-du-numerique-pour-l-education-2023-2027-344263
The general strategy has four main objectives:
- To strengthen national and local cooperation between education stakeholders
- Developing students' digital skills
- Provide teachers with a clear offer of digital tools and resources
- Develop the robustness, security, accessibility, quality and environmental responsibility of IT tools
Overall, the digital strategy for education hints at an increase in the use of free and open-source software for all parts related to the French education system, with a particular focus on providing students with appropriate training.
The 13th edition of the EUI's flagship conference, The State of the Union, will occur in Florence on 4 – 6 May. This year's edition, "Building Europe in times of uncertainty," will gather high-level political leaders, journalists, and experts from academia to discuss the challenges facing Europe today. #SOU2023’s panels, conversations, and addresses will foster reflection on key policy areas, including:
Challenges to democracy
Geopolitics and EU priorities
Green transition and energy security
Rethinking the global economic scenario
The digital and tech transition

Multidisciplinarity, interdisciplinarity, and transdisciplinarity in health research, services, education, and policy: 1. Definitions, objectives, and evidence of effectiveness
Understand the difference between Multidisciplinarity, interdisciplinarity, and transdisciplinarity.
- Multidisciplinarity draws on knowledge from different disciplines but stays within their boundaries.
- Interdisciplinarity examines, combines, and harmonizes connections between disciplines to create a well-resolved whole.
- The scientific, social, and health sciences are integrated with the humanities and go beyond their conventional limits thanks to transdisciplinarity.

Luxembourg launches open source chat for officials and citizens.
Luxchat services are a result of the country's Ministry of Digitalisation bundle of projects that drive the nation's data security and digital sovereignty. Ranking third in delivery of eGovernment among European countries, Luxembourg has a long history of using open source.
Luxchat uses Matrix open standard and protocol for real-time communication. The Matrix specification is built for interoperable, decentralized, and secure message exchange. Luxembourg follows the German armed forces and healthcare, French Government, and multiple Swedish public sector actors in implementing a Matrix-based system.
