13th European Conference on eGovernment – ECEG 2013
As governments seek to remodel and restyle their services, eGovernment continues to stir interest and attention. New dynamic issues such as eDemocracy, eCitizenship, interoperability, eIdentity and eVoting have become core elements in the development of public sector delivery.
European Conference on eGovernment (ECEG) 2013 will take place exactly 10 years after the European Ministerial eGovernment Conference that was held in Como (Cernobbio) in 2003. The Ministerial Declaration that was adopted in Cernobbio set a shared user-centred vision of innovation in the public sector that has been at the center of the European policies for eGovernemnt in the following years. At 10 years distance from that Declaration ECEG 2013 will give the opportunity for a critical evaluation of the achievement of the objectives stated in 2003 and the evolution of eGovernment worldwide.
Possible topics of the conference include, but are not limited to:
· Applications of eGovernment
· Challenges to eGovernment
· Interoperability
· eGovernment 2.0
· eDemocracy/eParticipation
· Measuring eGovernment/Economics of eGovernment
· Legal, agency, trust and governance issues in eGovernment
· Additional topics: Entrepreneurial processes in the information society; knowledge management/intellectual capital in local/national government; eI - intelligent use of systems in government; penetration/use of open-source solutions in public sector; leading change etc.
