Hello,
My name is Isabel, and I am a master’s student at the TIK Centre of
Technology, Innovation and Knowledge at the University of Oslo, conducting
research on the development and governance of Estonia’s X-Road
infrastructure.
My thesis examines:
* how X-Road has evolved as a national digital infrastructure
* which technological and organisational choices have shaped its
development
* and how Estonia balances innovation with digital sovereignty
Since the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications plays a key role
in setting the strategic direction, regulatory framework and long-term
vision for Estonia’s digital state, your perspective would be extremely
valuable for my research.
I would be very grateful for the opportunity to conduct a short 45-60
minute interview with a representative who works with digital government,
interoperability, data governance or the national digital strategy. The
interview will be fully voluntary, and participants remain anonymous.
If this is of interest, I would be happy to adapt to any date or time that
suits your team.
I am also happy to provide an overview of the research and interview
topics in advance.
Thank you very much for considering, hope to hear from you!
Best regards,
Isabel Lucie Falck Pena
