This TS is being provided to the Ministry of Digital Governance (MDG) in the area of digital/Information and Communications Technologies (ICT), digital public administration and e-governance with special focus on developing the next generation of digital public services and the adoption of new technologies in public administration, in line with European Commission’s Digital Decade Policy Programme 2030.
The project led by Expertise France provides support to Greece in its efforts to accelerate the digital transformation of the government.
The project has started since September 2022 and has a duration of 22 months.
Implementation of the TS is carried out by a multinational team of Greek and other EU Member States’ experts headed by one Key Expert (KE), under the supervision and coordination of Expertise France.
