Eastern European e|Gov Days 2009

Conference Proceedings

7th Eastern European e|Gov Days, Prague (CZ), 22-24 April 2009 (eee|Gov Days 2009)

The increased use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the public sector across Europe has contributed significantly to improve public service delivery and back office processes over the last decade. Recently, new priority areas in the field of eGovernment have been identified which go beyond the originally rather narrow focus on online delivery of public services in the context of European Information Society policies. 

This trend is reflected in the contributions to the eee|Gov Days 2009 which took place in Prague (CZ), 22-24 April 2009. The  eee|Gov Days 2009 were jointly organised by EPMA (the Czech European Projects and Management Agency)/ Vysocina Region (CZ) with Vienna Core group (EU), Judicial Academy (CZ), Respekt Institute (CZ) and Forum e|Government / OCG-Austrian Computer Society, Vienna (AT) and CEPA (Center for European Public Administration), Danube University Krems (AT).

Besides ‘traditional’ topics such as secure, interoperable and integrated service delivery for citizens and businesses, a number of contributions addressed emerging challenges related to governance such as the need for improved democratic processes and technology-enhanced participative decision-making models, as well as judicial processes including for example electronic court filing, and a variety of questions on the use of public sector information regarding economic and end-user aspects.

The eee|Gov Days were launched in 2003 and provide a valuable platform for the exchange of innovative ideas and mutual learning, inspiring technology transfer between Eastern and Western European countries, thereby bringing benefits to the whole community.
