Mission 1 “Digitalisation, innovation, competitiveness, culture and tourism”
Mission 1 aims to support the digital transition both in the public and private sector, boost innovation in the production system, and promote investments in tourism and culture, two key sectors of the Italian economy.
Mission 1 consists of 3 components, each with a dedicated budget:
- M1C1 - Digitalisation, innovation and security in the Public Administration (9.65 billion euros)
- M1C2 - Digitalisation, innovation and competitiveness of the production system (23.89 billion euros)
- M1C3 - Tourism and culture 4.0 (6.68 billion euros)
Component 1 of Mission 1 aims to restructure the Public Administration through a strategy focused on digitalisation and a reform that seeks to simplify organisational procedures, so as to provide public goods and services appropriate to the needs of citizens and companies.
Through its participation in Measure 1.3.1 "National Digital Data Platform", the University of Milan has received 704,421 euros funding to develop, implement, publish and maintain nine Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). These APIs will provide information about educational offerings, enrolments and students' qualifications, as outlined in Annex 2 of the notice linked below, and will be included in the catalogue of the National Digital Data Platform (PDND).
The goal of Investment 1.3 Data and interoperability is to ensure full interoperability and sharing of information between public administrations. This is in line with the "once-only" principle, which states that citizens shouldn't be required to provide the same information multiple times to different administrations.
The project also envisages the full implementation of the National Digital Data Platform, which will enable administrations to make their own information (in the form of APIs) available for consultation and use by other local and central administrations.
Component 3 of Mission 1 includes interventions for the valorisation of historical and cultural sites, including small villages, with a view to boosting tourist attractiveness and improving site safety, accessibility and preservation. Other interventions focus on the sustainable rehabilitation of suburban areas, by leveraging the potential of new technologies.
In the framework of Investment 2.3, the University of Milan has received 2 million euros from the Ministry of Culture to redevelop a portion of the Park of Monza (50 hectares of greenery) and to renovate the so-called Cascina Pariana (also known as Cascina Isolina), a historical building located inside the park
