Carlos Duarte, LASIGE integrated member, participated at the onsite event “Europe goes Once-Only – Portugal edition“, September, 25-26, 2025, Lisbon.

In his presentation on the second day of the event, Carlos Duarte addressed the Portuguese administration’s efforts to establish a comprehensive testing environment for digital accessibility. This initiative aims to provide a robust infrastructure for evaluating the accessibility of digital resources, enabling public and private entities across Portugal and Europe to ensure their digital services meet accessibility standards and are inclusive for all users.

This event is organized under the motto “Facing challenges together”, bringing together competent authorities connecting to Once-Only with the national and Commission teams implementing this system and the six interactive workshop tracks allow participants to understand how to onboard to Once-Only, share the challenges they face and collaboratively work on concrete solutions to overcome them.

The “Europe goes Once-Only” event series accelerates the onboarding of national competent authorities to the Once-Only Technical System. It brings experts working on Once-Only from all over Europe directly to the Member States to discuss, learn and overcome challenges together.
