September 2nd, 2009 in Events, News by Danish Technological Institute
As you may know a pre-conference to the 5th Ministerial eGovernment Conference 2009 is under preparation. The conference is hosted under the Swedish Presidency of the EU, and is arranged by Vinnova, the Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems, and the City of Malmö.
Under the title “eGovernment Research and Innovation: Empowering Citizens through Government Services across Sectors and Borders” the aim of the pre-conference is to demonstrate actual use of and potential of eGovernment research and incorporate the following themes:
-
Empowering citizens and businesses
-
Enhancing opportunities for businesses and citizens in the internal market
-
Efficiency and effectiveness in all government services
-
Citizen dialogue
As you see the pre-conference is directly linked to the topics of the 5th Ministerial eGovernment Conference: Teaming up for the eUnion (www.egov2009.se), 19-10 November, also in Malmö. The Ministerial eGovernment Conference – like the European eGovernment Awards 2009 (www.epractice.eu/awards) presented at an integrated exhibition of the 52 Awards finalists and a ceremony on 19 November announcing this year’s winners – focus on eGovernment supporting the Single Market, eGovernment services empowering citizens and businesses as well as eGovernment enabling administrative efficiency and effectiveness.
The key-note address will be delivered by Swedish Minister for Local Government and Financial Markets, Mr Mats Odell and a dinner will be hosted by Vinnova and City of Malmö in the evening at the old City Hall.
The conference is by invitation only and places are limited, but you are encouraged to register your interest in participating on www.vinnova.se/preconference (see pre-registration). Here you will also find the programme and further practical information.
