The annual audit by the Certification Body on Quality, Information Security and Health and Safety Management Systems was successfully completed on the 14th of November on the work led by Lepida, confirming the ISO 9001, ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018 and ISO 45001 certifications.

The verification has permitted the transition from the 2013 to the 2022 version of the ISO 27001 standard, that updates the controls to be carried out in order to implement, maintain and continuously improve an Information Security Management System.

Less than 10 minutes to generate an air quality impact scenario based on the vehicles running at regional level and in each municipality.

This is, after months of brisk work, a first result of the Proof of Concept (POC) of VERA, the Regional Digital Twin.

The POC, in further refinement, measures the air quality impacts of the Emilia-Romagna region with reference to regional traffic and road policies.

This tool, available in this first phase for regional governance and domain experts, allows the generation of scenarios having as input three distinct modes: 

On the 24th of September every partner of the Digi-Inclusion project, including Lepida, together with the political representatives of the network signed in Iasi (Romania) a Political Declaration on Digital Rights in order to promote digital inclusivity in their own territories.

The Declaration aims to reduce the digital gap, that causes economic and social inequalities. The 9 participating Cities have reached agreement on a common text that defines what makes a digital community a successful one. 

Digital innovation at the service of planning and designing spaces, cities and informed territories, for communities increasingly livable and citizen-friendly.

Lepida, together with the Emilia-Romagna Region, has participated to the Digital Twin Conference 2024 in Tallin, the international Conference dedicated to digital Twins which took place on the 11th and 12th of September. 

On June 27th 2024, on the occasion of R2B, an operational meeting was held between the 13 Italian EDIH with the participation in-person of the Project Officer (PO) of the EU Commission, Alvaro Hernando.

An overview of the Italian EDIHs of which ER2Digit is part was provided: 40 sectors are involved, mainly including manufacturing, healthcare and public administration; the technologies used mainly include AI, Cybersecurity and IoT, with a total of 35 technologies used. 

The PADRION (Public Administrations facing Digital transformation as a community in the ADRION area) Project will officially start on September 1st 2024 and will mark the beginning of a path aimed at improving the digital transformation and innovative capacity of PAs in the Adriatic-Ionian region. 

Lepida coordinates this project, which involves public organizations from Albania, Croatia, Greece, Italy, North Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia.

Lepida’s participation to two of the DIGI-INCLUSION network meetings, held in April in Torres Vedras (Portugal) and in June in Jelgava (Latvia), has strengthened the commitment to issues connected to the digital transition and gave new ideas for future projects.
