EDIH4DT

The EDIH4DT hub aims to promote and support a modern, and capillary digital transformation of Public Administrations (PAs), that is a strategic objective highly recommended by both EU and Italian National Government. The mission will be pursued providing a large and qualified set of services to drive PAs towards the familiarity and use of applications founded on: Artificial Intelligence, High Performance Computing, Communication Networks and IT Security. Services in Big Data, Cloud and other digital technologies will be also available. Both Processes, Data and Services for community, citizen and enterprise will be the target of the proposed PAs innovation. The target of the EDIH4DT is manly the local Public Administration. The Italy Digital Transformation is not possible without a pervasive digital transformation of Municipalities with their huge assets of data, documents and services for citizens, communities, and enterprises, that is, a valuable patrimonium that must be qualified also to meet objectives of new green deal. Then, the EDIH4DT will provides services to administrative process digitalization; dematerialisation of documents; connection to national digital platform, network and repositories; migration of legacy archives towards interoperable and open data; and diffusion of digital citizenship. The target is the national territory; with a main focus to southern Italy, where there is the major lack of digital innovation. There are six physical, and specialized access points in Torino, Rome, Campobasso, Bari, Benevento e Cosenza; and several nodes interconnected in the EDIH4DT network. The service provisioning will be ensured by a large and well-blended set of partners. It includes: qualified institutions in research, education, and technological transfer; existing network and echo-systems of local PAs (lead coordinator is ANCI, the National Association of the Italian Municipalities); a qualified set of innovation enterprises (lead coordinator is TIM).
