Summary
Europe coalesces. Several challenges in the field of computer science have to be tackled to support the public administrations and their IT systems growing together. The Max-Planck-Institute for Computer Science is involved in one project, funded by the European Commission, which aims at developing and ensuring a secure and efficient collaboration of Europe’s public administrations. Main research topics in this field deal with so-called services that can easily and efficiently be used by citizens and by other administrations with a strong emphasis on protection of data and privacy.
