Inclusive eGovernment workshop: Questions
08 October 2010 | 2023 Visits | Rating: 4 (maximum:5)
Dear epractice members,
We are thrilled that so many people have shown interest for the Inclusive eGovernment workshop!
We hereby present some of the questions that we aim to tackle during this session that we also encourage each and every member's opinion!
1. How do you think Inclusive eGovernment is relevant to current EU and national policy priorities?"
2. Has EU funding for inclusive eGovernment projects demonstrated tangible impact in real-life in terms of recommendations, conclusions, or good practice cases in reducing social exclusion?
3. In your opinion, has the implementation of policies and projects towards inclusive eGovernment services reduced the digital divide? Will this continue to occur in the future and at what rate?
4. Are there groups more targeted than others when designing eGovernment services meant to be inclusive? Are joined groups (suffering from multiple disadvantages) taken into account as well?
5. How important are digital skills in achieving an inclusive eGovernment? Should policies be complementary in these two distinct Riga areas?
6. Which are currently the major challenges, priorities and concerns in the area of inclusive eGovernment R&D (research and applications)?
7. What is the motive that drives inclusive eGovernment services? Is it of economical or social nature? Which associated challenges, barriers and opportunities for Governments?
8. Could you give us a good practice example of how an inclusive eGovernment service should look like in 2020?
9. How could Inclusive eGovernment contribute the the Digital Agenda for Europe?
We are looking forward to hearing from you!

bonjour Vassilia,
EU is certainly a major world community offering an interesting field for egovernment: democratic life is wide spread on the continent now , national parliaments use more and more new technologies for communication and transparency of their works.EU has not yet a political government and by that way , it is certainly interesting to imagine that a struggle to an egovernment could be the first step to a classical european government.
But, is there a european way of life, don't we suffer of  a large linguistical diversity for instance?Â
Knowing a large part of the continent, I am still astonished with the great differences we can observ on local level: do you know many cases of partnership between a farmar of Quercy and a farmar of east Slovakia??
Intellectual population is ready to make a step forward when other parts of the EU population have not been enough informed  about differences and similarities existing away from their land!!
It's important on my opinion that cultural local groups , clubs , associations are encouraged to meet and present their talents and particularities. A political speech will remain at the political level; a romanian doina, a slovak dance, a local choir will express strong feelings and diversified realities... such a melting can reach after time the soul and the mind of the people and serv by that way a democratic need of european government...
digital technologies please to everyone, especially young generations and it's certainly time to give a chance to the european and political spirit.
sincerely yours,
marc pierre
inclusive e-gov and e-inclusion
Many good questions. My reply to number 5 is definitely yes, I see (simplifying the picture a bit) inclusive e-gov and e-inclusion/ e-literacy as two sides of the same policy coin. Targeted ICT-enabled actions for social inclusion (supply side) call for e-competent users (demand side).
