Proyecto CLARITY

Under the Horizon 2020 framework, the CLARITY project will support European Member States in their pursuit for greater trust, transparency and efficiency within their open eGovernment initiatives, fostering good practices in this field in conjunction with e-government, especially within local government sectors, SMEs and self-employed, general medicine and disability. This initiative is formed by a team of seven members, who combine experience in several areas: from public administration, open government, data science, computer science and engineering, social sciences, humanities, business and economics.

Perfectly integrated on the current open Government networkds, the CLARITY Project members keep bringing together stakeholder networks across Europe into an engaged and mobilised community that supports innovation in open eGovernment applications in order to reach the following global goals: 

  • Mobilise and engage with the multidisciplinary network of stakeholders across the European open eGovernment ecosystem.
  • Conduct an interactive needs assessment and gap analysis in order to understand gaps in the market to support the growth in innovation in open eGovernment applications.
  • Work with the open eGoverment network to develop a blueprint for the future of open eGovernment in Europe.

CLARITY Project Resources

The CLARITY project, through its online platform (https://clarity-csa.eu/), makes available to the community a set of open reports of this sector in Europe and invites those interested in contributing to the evolution towards an open electronic government to share its vision, collaborating in the improvement of the previous guide  (http://clarity.oeg-upm.net/blueprint/) and the application market that shows the open electronic government services channels in the EU (https://clarity-csa.eu/portfolio-clean-2cols).

In addition, it provides users with information and access to the European Futurium platform (https://ec.europa.eu/futurium/en/egovernment4eu), which contributes to the 2016-2020 Electronic Government Action Plan.

CLARITY Conference, the Open Government of the future

In 2018, from 14 to 15 February, the CLARITY Conference will take place in the Swedish city of Skellefteå: two days during which the technologies, regulations and knowledge needed to carry out open government initiatives will be explored and discussions on digital transformation and its benefits will be held.
