<p>The latest technological progress has unveiled the enormous capacity for ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) to become a leading force in the modernisation of public administration and has raised the appearance of Transformational eGovernment. The potential for ICT in public affairs is constantly increasing. Considering the countless number of web-based applications - each time increasing in complexity - that have been developed in the last five or six years and are now widespread and popular for private use, one can only think of the possibilities this can offer to public administration and governments.</p>
Many different initiatives and projects are currently being carried out across Europe, aiming towards the promotion of eID and interoperable solutions. Interoperability is, to this date, perhaps one of the most challenging issues for the future of eGovernment in Europe. The development and further implementation of cross-border solutions, which constitute an essential pillar to enhancing the mobility of citizens and businesses in the internal market without encountering electronic barriers, is strictly dependent on interoperability; the best way to ensure its success is through the exchange of experiences and communities of practice.
