eGovernment at Regional and local level: Have your say and shape our Public Administrations of the future – Event
- Created: 09 September 2016
The 1st workshop since the adoption of the new eGovernment Action Plan 2016-2020 will take place on 20 September 2016. This workshop will present the new plan and focus on animating its implementation, in particular its dynamic aspects.
From the workshop, which is being jointly organised by the SEDEC Secretariat of the Committee of the Regions and the European Commission (DG CONNECT), we expect to show how the new eGovernment Action Plan is useful for all levels of administration - European, national, regional and local - and how stakeholders will be engaged in its future evolution. The workshop will bring together public administrations and leading engaged citizens and businesses from across Europe, to create ideas for action.
The workshop will start with a presentation of the adopted eGovernment Action Plan and the opinion of the Committee of the Regions. Then it will outline how all administrations can contribute to and participate in the evolution of already-included actions and in the definition of new actions, which is part of the dynamic nature of the Action Plan. Contributions from the Committee of the Regions and SEDEC representatives, as well as from guest speakers, will include practical examples and use cases to facilitate cooperation between, for example, border regions, helping them deliver cross-border public services.
To aid the delivery of better eGovernment services, the workshop will also discuss ways in which infrastructure and common service building blocks can be shared - taking into account roles and responsibilities at European, national, regional and local level.
Specific topics that the meeting will address include the availability of open data, how governments can pursue the transformation process, and how to involve citizens, businesses and public administrations in the co-creation of services.
In the afternoon session the workshop will also introduce the eGovernment4EU platform. Participants are invited to come up with real practical suggestions and proposals and to submit them to the Commission and the Member States by using the platform to interact with the community in the room and with those who have connected remotely via the platform. The suggestions and proposals will eventually be presented to the eGovernment Steering Board to possibly become new actions in the eGovernment Action Plan 2016-2020.
