The going local activity of the Digital Agenda for Europe (DAE) is an important communication
mechanism between the European Commission and the Member States.
Don’t miss this opportunity to contribute to the identification of both the areas with strong
potential where Portugal can contribute to the DAE and also the gaps and barriers to be
overcome to ensure the best coordination of policies and actions taken at National and
European Levels.
The DAE-PT European Commission team, from the DG INFSO, will be headed by Mr. Mario
Campolargo.
The Porto event is coordinated by the University of Porto (U.Porto), involving the University
of Aveiro.
