Online Course 2010/2022: Interoperability

The aim of the activity is to raise awareness and strengthen the knowledge on interoperability of large scale IT systems to exchange data and enable sharing of information in a targeted and intelligent way, and prepare end users for using existing information held in EU systems to the best effect, in full respect of data protection safeguards.

Upon completion of the training activity, the participant will be able to:

• Define the meaning and assumptions of the interoperability of IT large scale systems in order to exchange data and enable information exchange;

• Distinguish individual systems ultimately included in the interoperability framework and managed by various EU agencies and used by end users in Member States;

• Identify the current status of EU preparations for system interoperability, including legal background;

• Explain how information management / exchange in the EU can and must be made more effective and efficient, in full respect of fundamental rights including, in particular, the right to the protection of personal data.

The learning strategy focuses to support the participants to achieve the learning outcomes by following a learner-centred approach and interactive, participatory, practical and experiential principles in accordance with andragogic theory.

The course will be held entirely in English, therefore it is essential that nominated officials possess appropriate language skills (at least B2 level). The entire activity will be carried out online hence the physical presence of participants will not be required. No special experience is required from participants but it is important that they remain open-minded, active and will be willing to share their ideas/experience during the learning process.

The course will be delivered over a period of four days, from 28 November to 1 December 2022. Participants are expected to study around 4-5 hours per day during this period in order to be able to complete the activity. Learners will need to be available continuously during the live sessions for completing the course tasks in order to be able, at the end, to obtain the course certificate. All scheduled live events where attendance is required in real-time will be announced in the confirmation letter and in the course environment.
