DLA – Summary of the Project
Common methodology for the implementation of Digital Local Agenda and its impact on regional digital policies .
A Digital Local Agenda (DLA) is a common strategy shared with citizens, for the development of the Information Society which bears in mind socio-economic, cultural and institutional factors.
