Course in the Digital Transition of Public Administration

The course addresses the digital transformation of public administrations, a process that requires legal, technological and organisational skills. The programme integrates the regulatory framework, with the Digital Administration Code, the National Recovery and Resilience Plan and the GDPR, with practical technical tools. The topics covered include technology adoption, personal data management and process rationalisation. The approach is interdisciplinary and aims to combine regulatory awareness and digital culture, to support the modernisation of public services and to address the difficulties that administrations encounter in the shift to digital processes. The subject is highly relevant because the funds of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan and the digital regulations require administrations to renew services, platforms and ways of working, and because an effective transition depends on the ability to integrate legal, technological, organisational and personal data protection aspects.

The course has a total duration of 40 hours and is delivered entirely online. According to the calendar given, the enrolment deadline is January 20, 2027 and lessons are set to start on February 5, 2027. Teaching includes theoretical foundations, case studies and practical exercises, with the aim of translating regulatory principles into concrete action. The online format allows participation without travel, and is therefore suited to those who work in administrations. The page does not state the credits, the number of places, the lecturers or the assessment methods, and does not mention official academic recognition. The cost is not made public. The 40-hour online format is designed for those who work and wish to update their skills without taking much time away from daily activity, and the case studies and practical exercises help translate rules into operating procedures, into procurement and design choices and into security and data protection measures.

The aim is to develop the ability to face the challenges of the digital transition, combining regulatory and technological skills. The course is aimed at professionals and graduates interested in the digitalisation of public administration, with particular attention to those who work or intend to work in the public sector. The related professional figures include the data administrator, the digital process analyst, the privacy and cybersecurity consultant, the public administration manager, the e-government specialist and the compliance expert. The course is therefore useful for consolidating skills in the field of data management and digital services. The interdisciplinary approach, which combines law, technology and organisational management, encourages dialogue between the different profiles present in administrations, such as managers, officials, IT technicians and data protection officers, and helps create the shared language needed to carry out complex innovation projects.
