3–4 December 2025 | Brussels, Belgium 

Microsoft Innovation Hub, Rue Montoyer 51, 1000 Bruxelles, Belgium

In early 2026, the European Commission will publish the Digital Networks Act, a new proposal set to reshape telecommunications in the EU and replace the European Electronic Communications Code. This event aimed to gather stakeholders to reflect on the current framework for access to 112 and public warning, and to consider how the DNA could strengthen safety for citizens in emergencies.

Discussions covered the future of access to 112, public warning, accessibility, and caller location, as well as insights into Ukraine’s emergency communications during the war. The programme also examined the Union Civil Protection Mechanism and the transition towards packet-switched networks and NG112.
