Description

On May 19, 2008, one year after its launch, the ePractice.eu portal will celebrate a Mid-Term workshop. The one-day event will be held in Brussels, in the European Commission’s premises, with the presence of high-level officials responsible of the eGovernment, eInclusion and eHealth European policies and relevant experts from the private and public sectors.

Designed as a hands-on learning and networking experience, the workshop aims to bring together representatives of public authorities, policy-makers, IT experts, academics and industry managers to discuss best practices in e-transformation from the European perspective.

Key actors in the eGovernment, eInclusion and eHealth domains will be in charge of delivering the keynote speeches, where they will outline the challenges ahead and bring forward questions that will be discussed by the audience based on their expertise and involvement in real life projects in different countries.

The expected outcome:
- Present and discuss the 6 best cases in the eGovernment, eInclusion and eHealth domains published in ePractice.eu
- Achieve key learnings for all workshop participants, independently from their domains
- Add value through relevant keynote speeches
- Offer a high level discussion panel
- Provide networking opportunities
- Cover topics of main general interest
- Provide input on the development of the ePractice.eu portal

The participants’ role:
Participants are expected to contribute with their expertise to one of the three working groups, where real-life good practice cases will be evaluated in order to analyse the challenges encountered and how to overcome them.
