Call 3 for Public Institutions selection
DIH4Society is launching a selection call for Local Public Institutions (LPIs) in the North-West Region of Romania, offering free access to digitalisation services, funded through the Digital Europe Programme and POCIDIF. The aim of the project is to support the digital transformation and cybersecurity of public institutions, with varied benefits: from digital maturity assessment and digital architecture, to security vulnerability testing and the implementation of smart robotics.

To benefit from these services, applicants must fall within the definition of a public authority, that is, any state body or body of the administrative-territorial units acting under public authority to satisfy a public interest. The value of the services requested must be between EUR 12,000 and EUR 30,000.
Selection Criteria
The selection will be based on regional impact, the number of beneficiaries served, the investment commitment in digitalisation and an evaluation discussion/interview. Details on criteria and scores can be found in the Applicant's Guide.
