ePractice.eu combines online with offline activities. Workshops are completely organised on the initiative of the ePractice management. They are being held regularly, reflecting current topics in eGovernment, eHealth and eInclusion and offering a platform on which participants are able to discuss the latest issues and cases face-to-face.
The workshops are initiated by the ePractice team in collaboration with other organisations, entities and companies in the dedicated field or domain.
You may view here previous and future workshops organised by ePractice. You may also Propose a Workshop for publication at ePractice.
Co-branded workshops
ePractice offers a co-branding strategy, which is a tailored solution for Public Services workshops. With this formula, workshops that qualify for ePractice co-branding can gain visibility through the portal and can optimise the networking effect and knowledge exchange of the event.
ePractice.eu co-branded workshops have a dedicated URL within the portal, where users can start networking and discussing the topic several weeks before the meeting. These events are also entitled to special mentions in the weekly ePractice newsletter. Registration of workshop participants is managed through the ePractice portal.

Assisted workshops
In an effort to promote the exchange of best practice in the domains of Public Services as well as to support the effort of community facilitators in those actions, ePractice now establishes an Assisted Workshops Programme.
Under this programme, ePractice will provide planning, logistical and organisational support to ePractice members, mainly Community facilitators who wish to organise workshops, but have limited time or budget.
The ePractice Assisted Workshops intend to take off the burden of focusing on logistic details, while helping organizers to focus on content such as identifying the subject, finding the speakers, drafting the agenda, etc.
