On May 25th/26th, the Porvoo 19 conference will join with the EKSISTENZ Final Event to bring together a wide range of speakers and topics with a focus on what comes next in relation to identity in this changing world. It will be hosted by Agenzia per l’Italia Digitale (AgID). The draft agenda can be downloaded here.

The conference will consider how the various initiatives can support the movement towards having more mature and valuable interoperable identity schemes. The programme has been arranged by the Porvoo Group, and eForum representing the EKSISTENZ Project supported by EEMA.

A core focus of the Porvoo Group is keeping abreast of what the national representatives are doing in their own countries. Therefore, there will be updates from a variety of countries including Estonia, Belgium and Finland. Additional insights will be provided from outside the EU and there will also be a focus on how this experience can best be shared with the developing world and also, how the existing networks can strengthen their cooperation.

In addition to updates on eIDAS, there will be reports on the work of no fewer than six ongoing EU funded projects in the field:


1.
