The EGOV-CeDEM-ePart 2018 represents the merge of the IFIP WG 8.5 Electronic Government (EGOV), the IFIP WG 8.5 IFIP Electronic Participation (ePart) and the Conference for E-Democracy and Open Government Conference (CeDEM). The conference is held annually, and will be hosted 3-5 September 2018 at the Danube University Krems in Austria.
The conference focuses on e-Government, Open Government, eParticipation and e-Democracy, but on several other related topics too, such as the role of social media, digital transformation in society, Artificial Intelligence, policy informations, smart governance and social innovation. Several different types of submissions can be made, such as completed research, but also ongoing research, reflections&viewpoints, posters, workshops. The conference organises a PhD Colloquium and offers a limited number of PhD bursaries.
We invite individuals from academic and applied backgrounds as well as from business, public authorities, NGOs, NPOs and education institutions to submit their research papers, reflections, posters as well as practitioner papers, panel or workshop proposals to the topics addressed in the tracks. We also welcome interdisciplinary approaches to the conference topics.
