Pilots
DE4A includes three cross-border and cross-domain Pilots - Studying Abroad Pilot, Doing Business Abroad Pilot, and Moving Abroad Pilot -, comprising different functional use cases focused on different high-impact and viable administrative procedures, and aimed to realize tangible benefits in fully operational environments to real users (citizens, students, business persons and public servants). The Pilots are delivered by a separate, agile, multi-disciplinary, inter-member state teams of experts. The focus of these teams is on iterative system integration and configuration, hence on making existing building blocks and solutions work together in real life cases.
Mission and Goals of the pilots
The three Pilots are based on SDGR Life Events for students, companies & citizens and they will be executed and validated in two separate iterations, scheduled on October 2021 and May 2022.
The key goal is to evidence of Once-Only Principle (OOP) benefits in real-life scenarios, meaning piloting with real users and with real exchange of evidence, in a called "operational" environment. The target is to try-out solutions to OOP barriers and assist EU Public Administrations to be ready for the SDG. This integration of DE4A in national OOP layers and/or Data Consumers and Data Providers portals will provide insight to Member States on implementing challenges and potential solutions needed for the final adoption.
Added Value for DE4A ecosystem
- In-depth understanding of chosen ‘Life Events’ by detailed Use Case analysis in MS
- Pilot important concepts relevant for SDG context and beyond
- Evidence of enablers of trust of SDG users in public authorities. Evaluate in realistic conditions different trust models incl. more decentralized ones (SSI, VC).
- Apply in real-life contexts results from major public sector initiatives: Public Document Regulation, EBSI-ESSIF
- Measurable impacts using S.M.A.R.T. metrics substantiate how well each pilot meets established success criteria and aligns with DE4A principles
- A workable design for current and future Once-Only data sharing implementations
Studying Abroad Pilot
The Studying Abroad (SA) pilot of the DE4A project implements cross-border eProcedures in higher education in Portugal, Slovenia and Spain.
Use Case "Application to Public Higher Education" (SA UC1)
Use Case "Applying for Study Grant" (SA UC2)
