The European Union currently offers two Open Data portals: the EU Open Data Portal and the European Data Portal. In order to create a central contact point for high-quality data within Europe, both portals are now to be transferred into the joint portal Data.Europa.EU. Fraunhofer FOKUS is developing its technological "heart".

In the future, selected administrative services in the European Union are to be made digitally available across borders in all Member States in a way that they can be processed online without media discontinuity. In the ACROSS project, methods are being researched and a tool framework developed to guide citizens through these new services in an interactive, user-friendly and easy-to-understand manner - securely and in compliance with data protection laws.
