The CROSSROAD validation and dissemination workshop is organised as the pre-event to the 8th Eastern European eGovernment Days in Prague and will take place on April 21, 2010 (http://www.epma.cz/programme.html). The participation on the workshop is free of charge.

The Prague workshop is focused on dissemination and consultation with stakeholders on the roadmapping process and building of the Validation Community. Specific objectives of the workshop are:

- to raise awareness and create consensus among the eGovernance and ICT communities of research and practice on future research priorities in the field of participation, governance and policy modelling;

- to involve a wide range of interested experts into the Validation Community in order to support the consultation process of the roadmapping. Each participant may become involved into the roadmap development and join the Validation Community by discussing the state of the art of the research fields, related to ICT for governance and policy modelling.
