International Conference for Electronic Democracy
An event organised by the Centre for e-Government of the Department for Governance and Public Administration, of the Danube University of Krems (Austria) in cooperation with the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration, the conference EDem 2008 will take place on 29-30 September 2008 in Krems.
Various existing eDemocracy applications encompass the entire democratic process. In this context several questions arise, including:
- To what extent can eDemocracy support and enrich our democracy?
- What and where are the interfaces and methods that can be used to integrate eParticipation in present politics public administration processes?
- How can we ensure that the greatest number of people are reached and are able to use the means of participation?
- How can the modern media support political education?
- How can the Internet increase participation in political discussion?
- What are the limitations and the risks of eDemocracy?
The EDem2008 conference is intended to provide the opportunity to look into these questions and discuss the answers. During the conference, experiences will be collected, examples of good and bad practice analysed, and the State-of-the-Art and future scenarios will be presented and discussed.
The final programme of the event has been made available.
Participation to the conference will require the payment of a €95 fee. Those wishing to participate as guests should contact noella.edelmann@donau-uni.ac.at by email. Registration can now be performed online on the event website.
