eGovernment in the European knowledge society
The way we are governed in Europe is undergoing dramatic change, to which the introduction of new Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is making its own powerful contribution, hand-in-hand with other societal trends.
Cases in eGovernment
eGovernment - focus on best practice examples in all areas of eGov.
The cases accessed from this page show that eGovernment is one of the biggest challenges currently facing Europe as it touches on so many aspects of our personal, family, community, working and business lives. These challenges include:
- transforming government into a dynamic, productivity-driven concept
and set of institutions (for example through re-engineering)
- providing interactive user-driven services to citizens and businesses
which maximise fulfilment and security, whilst generating trust and
confidence
- using ICT to support good governance so that democracy is characterised
by accountability, openness and transparency, and that articulation
between the different parts of society, including government, is flexible,
effective and beneficial to the common good
- supporting the general role of government in underpinning and promoting
the wealth, welfare and sustainable development of society.
