Project description
A new innovative e-governance model
The vision of the EU-funded GLASS project is to place EU citizens in control of their personal information and streamline access to eGovernment services across Member States and beyond. The project is citizen-centric by design, uses state-of-the-art technology and envisages to produce a model of interaction among public administration, citizens and businesses with a strong social, societal, economic, technological and scientific impact aligned with the EU eGovernment Action Plan 2016-2020 and the EU Digital Single Market Strategy. With GLASS, public administrations will enhance their open government capabilities and significantly improve the sense of trust and confidence of citizens and businesses that will have the freedom to make personal or businesses choices without the administrative burden of the past.
Objective
The rapid growth of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and its ubiquitous presence in our everyday life has significantly affected the way government services are delivered today. This poses constant challenges to safeguard the data confidentiality and integrity of e-government services, while increasing its adoption and usage by citizens and businesses. GLASS caters for a 'European Common Services Web', bringing closer together citizens, businesses and European governments. The project introduces a citizen-centric e-governance model that enables beneficiaries to participate in a network for big data exchange and service delivery, which is by design digital, efficient, cost-effective, interoperable, cross-border, secure and promotes the once-only priority. The GLASS solution comprises (i) a distributed file storage system, capable of addressing the complexity of the processes and their high demand on resources; (ii) a distributed ledger, which records every transaction among users to increase the overall transparency and trustworthiness; (iii) a distributed application (dapp) ecosystem for delivering mobile services tailored to the needs of its users; (iv) a single sign-on Wallet as a Service (WaaS) platform responsible for managing multiple services provided by each dapp; and (v) a Middleware Gateway Framework, responsible for the establishment of secure communication pathways among operational stakeholders and the integration of already existing e-governance systems with newly developed ones. GLASS brings together twelve (12) interdisciplinary partners from eight (8) countries to deliver a novel e-governance model and address the challenges that governance structures in the EU are currently facing - from divergent and legal groundwork to physical and technological limitations - towards the democratization and openness of the public administration services.
