OpenEuropa Library Talk #6 | BOSA and Brussels Capital Drupal distribution cases

The seminar will focus on the practical aspects of implementing and addressing technical considerations in the management of large-scale projects within public institutions. In particular, it will explore two Drupal projects, each organised and developed using different architectural approaches (monolithic and headless), yet both pursuing the same objectives of efficiency and optimisation.

What is the target audience? 

The content is designed to engage a broad audience, as it will provide a comprehensive overview of the multifaceted components essential to project execution in this context.
