Financial agency, acting Project Coordinator, organized the first visibility event of the ePIC – Electronic Identification Croatia project funded by Connecting Europe Facility EU Programme. The public presentation of the project was held on May 16, 2018 at the House of Europe in Zagreb, Croatia.
The overall goal of the ePIC project is to promote the uptake and speed up the use of eID Digital Service Infrastructure (DSI) among EU/EEA citizens and public entities established in Croatia. Objectives of the project are:
• integration of the eID DSI in the existing public e-services in Croatia by meeting the requirements of the eIDAS regulation (EU) No 910/2014 in order to accept eIDs issued in any Member State.
• integration of eIDAS compliant public e-services with National Identification and Authentication System (NIAS) integrated with national eIDAS-Node in order to enable attributes to be associated with electronic identities for cross-border use through the eIDAS node while enhancing the service provided to the citizens;
• training of relevant stakeholders and dissemination of project results through the workshops and multimedia materials in order to inform EU/EEA citizens, local and regional authorities, public bodies, diplomatic missions and consular offices to Croatia, as well as private sector bodies about possibilities for EU/EEA citizens to access e-services in Croatia by using their own electronic identification means issued in any EU/EEA country according to eIDAS.
By meeting these objectives e-services will be more secure, convenient and certain in cross-border exchange of electronic identification and the Republic of Croatia will increase its potential for cross-border interoperability of NIAS.
Total budget of the ePIC project is EUR 505,406 and the CEF contribution of 75% of the eligible costs shall be of EUR 379,055. >>> Project ePIC - Electronic Public Identification Croatia <<<
