The act of delivery of the 2025 Open Administration Awards will take place next May 20 at 17:00 p.m. in the Sala Petita of the Teatre Auditori de Granollers. The awards ceremony will be attended by the Secretary of Telecommunications and Digital Transformation, Albert Tort, from the vice president of Localret Peter Segura, from the mayor of Granollers, Alba Barnusell and the managing director of the AOC, Miquel Estape.
This is the 11th edition of the Open Government Awards, awards that the AOC grants each year to town halls and county councils that have stood out in digital transformation and open government in their relationship with citizens..
The Open Administration Awards 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
Digital Maturity Index (IMD)
These recognitions are given on the basis of the Digital Maturity Index (IMD) carried out by the AOC and determined from the analysis of objective indicators, data on the use of AOC services and the analysis from the websites of local bodies.
The IMD is a unique and innovative initiative, both at state and international level, which allows us to rigorously assess the degree of maturity of a public body's digital transformation. Indices that measure the development of digital government at the regional or state level are not appropriate for evaluating data at the local level and, moreover, are based on surveys or statistical data, while the IMD uses public and objective open data.
