Building on the success of 2010 experience and based on the inputs provided by key stakeholders and on an analysis of the Italian situation, the approach taken for the Going Local exercise 2011 comprised:
- Two 'really' going local events in Bologna and Palermo, complementing the event in Rome and addressing the local and regional dimension of the Digital Agenda.
- A final event in Rome focused on the national priorities for the Digital Agenda.
Among the topics addressed were:
- Research and Innovation; new funding scheme Horizon 2020
- Broadband penetration: funding mechanisms
- e-Government and innovation in the public administration (included open data infrastructure)
- Inclusion, digital divide, digital literacy
- Key enablers: legislative framework for electronic identification, electronic signature, etc…).
