It has been set up thanks to the 2008 CIP ICT PSP Programme of Work and has officially begun on 1st May 2009. The ICT Policy Support Programme (ICT PSP) aims at stimulating innovation and competitiveness through the wider uptake and best use of ICT by citizens, governments and businesses, including SMEs.

The primary objective for setting up this group is to encourage the sharing of good practice in the area of electronic identity in order to make the co-operation between SPOCS and other LSPs/infrastructure projects, initiatives etc. more effective. It further aims to increase synergies between those entities, comprehend risk assessment, and raise awareness in possible joint actions and share knowledge on topics related but not limited to: cross-border applications, cross-sector applications, specific eID needs, existing technological aspects, solutions and future trends.

We are keen to ensure good representation of all relevant stakeholders in the Group and would very much appreciate your contribution. We do hope you will take up this opportunity to have a say in the development of interoperability between EU Member States and look very much forward to working with you.
