CQOP SOA is organizing the Academy Day titled “From the single market of public procurement to a single European qualification?”, which will take place on Thursday, October 29, at 9:30 AM at the CEOforLIFE CLUBHOUSE – MONTECITORIO, Piazza Montecitorio 116, Rome.

An Academy Day dedicated to the European public procurement reform
The CQOP SOA Academy Day opens with the presentation of the study “Completing the Puzzle of European Public Procurement Reform: Towards a European Qualification System for Economic Operators?”, conducted by CQOP SOA in collaboration with Johns Hopkins University, Politecnico di Torino, and Ghent University. Structured as a workshop, the event underscores CQOP SOA’s commitment to driving high-level reflection on the future of SOA certification in Italy and across Europe.
At the heart of the debate, the Panel Discussion offers a crucial moment for reflection ahead of the upcoming release of the new Public Procurement Regulation by the European Commission. According to CQOP SOA, this paradigm shift represents both a challenge and an opportunity for the entire business qualification ecosystem and the future of SOA certification in Europe.
Why attend the Academy Day
The event will gather:
- representatives from European institutions, the national Government, and Parliament;
- members of independent sectoral regulatory authorities;
- university professors and subject-matter experts;
- representatives from industry and trade associations;
- members of news agencies and the national press.
Attending the CQOP SOA Academy Day provides a unique, single-day opportunity to engage with key institutional, academic, and industry stakeholders driving the reform of European public procurement. For qualified enterprises and sector professionals, it is a valuable chance to anticipate regulatory trends and understand the potential impact of a unified European qualification system on the current SOA certification framework.
