International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) e-government conference - 'EGOV 2010'
The Europe-based Annual IFIP e-government conference is one of three core conferences, which present the state of the art in the study domains of eGovernment and eGovernance. Over the years, through the organisation of its conferences, the EGOV community has provided important guidance for research and development in this fast-moving domain of study.
The IFIP e-government conference brings together leading researchers and professionals from across the globe and from a number of disciplines. Over the years, the interest in this domain of study has steadily increased. The 2009 EGOV conference - within the DEXA conference cluster - has attracted more than 130 participants from 32 countries including developing countries, with 35 contributions in completed research, 25 contributions in ongoing research, 7 projects contributions and 3 workshops.
eGovernment research has demonstrated its relevance to practice and consequently has influenced and even shaped government strategies and implementations. Conversely, eGovernment practice has inspired eGovernment research. A wide range of topics has received scholarly attention. In recent years, the assessment and evaluation of eGovernment projects, the foundations of eGovernment as a research discipline, integration and interoperation in government, and the role of information and communication technology for development rank among leading topics on the research agenda.
The conference programme has been made available here.
Around 200 persons are expected to participate in this event. Attendance requires the payment of a fee. Further information on the registration will be available in the upcoming weeks on the event website.
In 2010, the IFIP e-government conference will be organized in parallel with ePart, the new International Conference on eParticipation, which is dedicated to topics on eParticipation and eDemocracy. ePart will be held in parallel tracks to the IFIP e-government conference.
