The LAPSI Thematic Network is currently organizing its 2nd Public Conference that will take place in Bruxelles, on 23rd and 24th January 2012.

In addition to the scheduled activites, the winner of the 3rd LAPSI Award on the most user-friendly design of a PSI portal in the EU will be announced during the second day of the Public Conference.
