The aim of the call is creating collective awareness platforms for sustainability and social innovation

The project will be focused of creation of reliable electronic system to be used on public structures – mainly municipalities with the purpose of digital storage and access of large archives.

Following the principal of continuing involvement of citizens in municipality governance and services, the system will have an option of interactive data transfer to citizens upon request and after reliable way of identification.

Although the system will be designed to have very high security compliance in view of providing data and functionalities to citizens, it will alleviate considerably data search and could be considered a step ahead to e-governance.
