European initiative for a Citizen digital ID solution

Objective

The goals of TB1 are to create a plan for European Citizen Digital ID and to elaborate minimal requirements and recommendations to make sure that electronic public ID tokens issued in the member states can be read and recognised in the other member states. Through a ""Thematic Network"" type of project, EUCLID will provide the support infrastructure and coordination required for an efficient collaboration of the TB1 member organisations. EUCLID will also provide the required information dissemination means to promote a common approach to the implementation of citizen digital ID in Europe and initiate the preparatory work for standardisation.
