Third International Conference on eParticipation, Delft, the Netherlands
29 August 2011 - 29 August 2011
Netherlands
The Third International Conference on eParticipation will take place from 29 August to 1 September 2011 in Delft, the Netherlands.
eParticipation is a general term which refers to participation in processes involved in government and governance helped in various ways by information and communications technology.
The need for a term emerged as citizen benefits and values often received less attention in e-government development than those of the service providers. eParticipation helps highlight and clarify the need to distinguish the roles of citizen and customer of government services.
The principal aim of the event will be to review research advances in both social and technological scientific domains, seeking to demonstrate new concepts, methods and styles of eparticipation. Discussion topics will include:
- the research landscape, directions, foundations and methods;
- cultural and normative differences in eparticipation;
- comparative analyses of eparticipation practices;
- eparticipation projects: design, implementation, evaluation, quality and impact;
- technologies for eparticipation, policy modelling, simulation, impact assessment and visualisation;
- online deliberation and discourse;
- education, training courses, and curricula.For further information, please visit: http://www.epart-conference.org/(opens in new window)
