Mapping Digital Commitments
To strengthen EU-LAC digital cooperation, SPIDER has systematically mapped political and strategic commitments made during key summits and high-level meetings across both regions. This mapping offers a clear view of the current landscape and reveals where SPIDER can help transform dialogue into tangible opportunities for collaboration and impact.
Facilitating dialogues
and policy debate for EU-LAC cooperation in R&I
The EU-LAC Digital Dialogues Implementation Forum (DIF) and its Working Groups are the cornerstone of SPIDER´s strategy to facilitate the exchange of best practices and the application of R&I commitments from EU-LAC digital dialogues.
The DIF is unique of its kind in international cooperation in R&I, connecting relevant stakeholders from both regions to encourage dialogues, facilitate knowledge exchange, and foster digital transformation.
