CONNECT University on the Digital Decade Report 2024: setting the scene for the EU's new digital policy agenda

CONNECT University will host an online session focused on the Digital Decade Report 2024, which assesses the EU’s progress towards achieving its digital transformation goals by 2030. Organised by the Directorate-General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology (DG CONNECT), this discussion will take place within the broader context of the European Union’s upcoming policy priorities under President von der Leyen’s new mandate for 2024-2029. The event will also reflect on the input from the Draghi and Letta Reports, which have helped shape the EU’s digital strategy moving forward.

This event is an important platform for policymakers, digital sector stakeholders, and industry experts to gain insights into the EU’s evolving digital policy framework and to understand the priorities driving Europe’s digital transformation efforts.

The session aims to explore how the State of the Digital Decade Report 2024 (SDD24) connects to these recent reports and sets the foundation for the EU’s digital policy agenda in the years to come. You will be able to follow the event live here.
