THE NEC APPROACH
Numérique en Commun[s] is working to build a community of professionals who are taking practical action to ensure that the public interest is taken into account in the roll-out of digital technology, both in France and across Europe.
How do we operate?
The approach brings together those who make decisions, develop, roll out, coordinate and support digital initiatives.
It documents progress, maintains a catalogue of open-licence resources and organises networks of experts that can be called upon by the entire sector by carrying out four types of initiative.

La gouvernance de la démarche
Initiée en 2018 par l’Agence nationale de la cohésion des territoires, Numérique en Commun[s] est aujourd’hui co-portée avec la Fondation Inria. Sa gouvernance est ouverte : elle réunit des collectivités, des administrations, des associations, des acteurs de la recherche et de la médiation numérique, qui s’engagent, chacun selon ses moyens et ses missions, à faire progresser un numérique d’intérêt général au service des territoires et de leurs habitants. C’est cette architecture partagée qui fait de NEC un cadre de travail commun et durable.
What are our principles?
In order to strengthen the way Numérique en Commun[s] operates, we have set out seven principles that ensure consistency in our actions and our direction as we champion digital technology in the public interest.

Ensure that new initiatives complement existing schemes and foster collaboration among local stakeholders.
DEBATE
Open up democratic spaces for discussion about the role of digital technology in our society and in our everyday lives.
EDUCATE
Support skills development and the effective use of digital tools, while raising awareness of the social and political issues surrounding digital technology.
MODERATE
Reduce the environmental footprint of digital technology while recognising its potential to accelerate the ecological transition.
OPEN
Make data and resources accessible, document developments, and share governance practices.
IMPROVE
Drive improvements in digital services through the ongoing assessment of their impacts.
WORK TOGETHER
Co-develop digital services with all relevant stakeholders, based on identified needs.
