Such information includes, for example, study results, health and prescription information. Finding information about another country’s legislation is also important for operating in that country.
Is there a flow of information between countries?
How is the mobility of information implemented between the Nordic and Baltic countries? The issue has been mapped out as part of the Nordic Council of Ministers’ presidency project “The world’s smoothest cross-border mobility and everyday life through digitalisation”. The aim of the project is to streamline the daily life and mobility of people and companies across borders by promoting the exchange of information between authorities in the Nordic countries.
The Digital and Population Information Agency, which is piloting the project, will organize a seminar on 30 November 2021, where a progress report prepared by the project will be published. The report examines how information related to study performance and health information currently flows between the Nordic and Baltic countries and what are the main obstacles to the smooth flow of information between the authorities of different countries. The report also looks at the discoverability of legislation and barriers to discoverability in different countries.
So are we at the forefront of information mobility and interoperability in the north? Come and hear the results of the space survey in the webinar!
The seminar on the results of the space survey will be available live on 30 November 2021 from 2 pm to 3 pm (EET) here.
The event is open to everyone and does not require pre-registration.
What is the project about?
Finland will hold the presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers in 2021. At the beginning of the year, the presidency project “The world’s smoothest cross-border mobility and everyday life through digitalisation” was launched. It aims to streamline the daily lives and mobility of people and companies across borders by promoting the exchange of information between authorities in the Nordic countries. The project will create an operating model and good practices to strengthen and enhance cross-border information exchange. The project will run for three years and will run from 2021 to 2023.
The Digital and Population Information Agency has a key role in implementing the project. The Agency leads the implementation of the Presidency project and coordinates the work of the project working groups. At the beginning of the project, a report will be prepared on the current state of people’s daily lives across borders. The main product of the project is a common operating model and good practices to strengthen and enhance cross-border information exchange.
The Ministry of Finance owns the project and directs its implementation. The administrative branches of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health, the Ministry of Education and Culture and the Ministry of Justice are also involved in the implementation.
