Its aim is to equip municipalities with the knowledge and tools to leverage the opportunities presented by the evolving information society. The week's program features ten sessions with over twenty speakers, offering insights into practical solutions for information governance. Key topics include the Open Raadsinformatie Archiefstandaard (ORI-A) for accessible storage and disclosure of council information, and the DUTO-quickscan for assessing the risks and opportunities related to the sustainable accessibility of government data. Additionally, discussions will explore the impact of Artificial Intelligence on information management practices. This initiative directly affects Dutch municipalities and other governmental organizations by providing them with resources to enhance their digital infrastructure and information handling capabilities. The event underscores a growing European emphasis on digital sovereignty and responsible data management, fostering a more transparent and efficient public administration in the digital age.
