The act of delivery of the 2020 Open Administration Awards will take place on May 5 at 17 pm at the Casa Golferichs, Barcelona. The awards ceremony will be attended by the Minister of Digital Policies and Public Administration and President of the AOC, jordi puigneró and the president of Localret and vice-president of the AOC, James Oliveras.
Due to the current pandemic situation, it is recommended not to hold events indoors where a large number of people attend. To minimize risks, the event will be held in a virtual format by all entities that receive recognition.
This is already the VI edition of the Open Administration Recognitions, awards that the AOC grants every year to the town councils and county councils that have stood out in the digital transformation of their relationship with the citizens and in their internal management. These recognitions are given on the basis of theDigital Maturity Index carried out by the AOC and determined on the basis of the analysis of objective indicators, the data on the use of the AOC services and the analysis of the websites of the local bodies.
The Digital Maturity Index is a unique initiative, both at national and European level, that allows us to rigorously assess the degree of maturity of the digital transformation of a public entity.
The Open Administration Recognitions distinguish seven categories according to the number of inhabitants of the entities and their nature:
- Councils of 1 to 500 inhabitants
- Councils of 501 to 1.000 inhabitants
- Councils of 1.001 to 5.000 inhabitants
- Councils of 5.001 to 20.000 inhabitants
- Councils of 20.001 to 50.000 inhabitants
- Councils with more than 50.000 inhabitants
- County councils
