“Joinup is an open source tool and an open platform by design. And this is a good image for the nature of what we want to do with Interoperable Europe, because it needs to be open, transparent, and collaborative by design. Likewise, if we don’t make Europe open, interoperable, collaborative by design then it will not work. Joinup provides the proper basis to make this happen. Joinup is not only an open tool, but also a reusable tool itself.”
