Join the EU4Digital DESI Accelerator regional event, 24 November
Date:
24/11/23
Representatives of institutions that collect Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) related indicators in Eastern partner countries are invited to participate in an EU4Digital Facility event online on 24 November 2023. In the event, experts from the EU4Digital Digital Skills thematic area will present analysis of DESI implementation, discuss regional and national recommendations around the adoption of full DESI measurement, and reflect on insights and milestones from the EU4Digital DESI Accelerator activity. Simultaneous translation to the languages of all Eastern partner countries will be provided at the event.
DESI is highly relevant and important in the context of digital transformation. The index represents a set of indicators to track the evolution of four major areas in the digital progress of economies and societies in the European Union: human capital, integration of digital technology, digital public services and connectivity.
EU4Digital launched DESI acceleration activities in May 2023. The EU4Digital DESI Accelerator targets three of the four DESI dimensions in the Eastern Partnership, not including connectivity. With the assistance of this EU4Digital DESI Accelerator, it is anticipated that the Eastern partner countries will establish full DESI indicator collection and related methodological changes. This will enable them to gather data in line with EU best practices and incorporate more accurate digital performance-related data in their national strategies.
The regional online event, along with the publication of an EU4Digital report on DESI implementation in Eastern partner countries, will conclude stage one of the DESI Accelerator activity. This first stage has aimed to create regional and national recommendations and roadmaps to support the Eastern partner countries in taking up DESI and implementing the index. During the event, results of a gap analysis of Eastern partner countries’ DESI implementations to date will be presented. The second stage of the EU4Digital DESI Accelerator will also be introduced. This will focus on capacity building, with the provision of methodological support and training sessions for data collection institutions, as well as the sharing of international best practices.
