Community of Practice: a European community for automated regulatory compliance

We are building a professional community to bring together people and organisations interested in making regulatory compliance simpler, more transparent, and more digital across Europe.

As regulations become increasingly complex, organisations face growing challenges in understanding requirements, sharing compliance-related information, and keeping up with legislative change. At the same time, many promising digital solutions are being developed in isolation and valuable lessons from pilots are not always shared widely.

The Community of Practice for Automated Regulatory Compliance, that is currently under development, will help bridge these gaps by creating a space for learning, collaboration, and practical exchange between those interested in, developing, implementing, and using digital compliance solutions. 

Who can join?

The Community of Practice is open to professionals with a stake in the future of regulatory compliance, including:

  • Regulators and supervisory authorities
  • Public administrations and government agencies
  • Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
  • Large companies and industry organisations
  • Legal & regulatory technology (LegalTech, RegTech) developers
  • Digital service providers
  • Standards organisations and interoperability initiatives
  • Legal and compliance professionals
  • Universities and research organisations
  • Civil society organisations
  • Related EU-funded projects and initiatives

What does the community do?

The Community of Practice will serve as a platform for:

  1. Sharing real-world experiences

Members gain access to lessons learned from OIVA’s pilot projects in vehicle recycling, construction permitting, and financial auditing, as well as experiences from related European initiatives. 

  1. Learning about emerging solutions

The community showcases practical examples of technologies such as machine-readable regulations, digital identities, digital product passports, data spaces, privacy-enhancing technologies, and AI-supported compliance tools. 

  1. Building connections

Members can exchange knowledge, identify opportunities for collaboration, and connect with experts from across Europe working on similar challenges. 

  1. Contributing to future standards and practices

The community provides a channel for sharing practical experiences with European initiatives, helping ensure that real-world needs and lessons learned are reflected in future guidance, standards, and implementation approaches.
