All these issues are relevant at local government, central government and also at the supranational level such as the European Community. The interest in e- Government is at least in part driven by an agenda to radically transform the delivery of public services through the adoption of advanced information and communications technology (ICT) and also to make the whole process of government more effective. e-Government is clearly not only about technology - it is about reinventing the way in which public sector service providers and citizens interact. It is about enhancing the democratic processes and also about using new ideas to make lives easier for the citizen by transforming government processes, providing community leadership, enabling economic development and renewing the role of government itself in society. The advisory group for the conference invites submissions of papers on both the theory and advanced practice in respect of the conference themes outlined below, from academics, government departments and practitioners in the public and private sector. The conference to be held in Antwerp on 16-17 June 2005 is also seeking case studies and reports of work-in-progress. Topics may include, but are not limited to: o Applications of eGovernment New ideas for improving the Public Service efficiency and effectiveness The case for eGovernment o The e-Voting issue How can e-Voting be made to work Risks and advantages from e-Voting o e-Democracy How technology can improve the democratic process ICT and the case of deliberative democracy o Measuring eGovernment/Economics of eGovernment The case for eGovernment - can benchmarking indicators be effective What are the benefits and economics of e-Government. o Innovative Organisational Change Citizen to Government relationships, including inter alia, citizen-centric services and eParticipation and the issue of European citizenship Interoperability Frameworks (National, Transnational) Identity Management - including Authentication, Trust and Privacy.
