PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION AND ELECTRONIC COMMERCE IN EUROPE

Objective

PACE aims to contribute to the growth of the European e-commerce market in the Public Administrations (PA) sector. For this purpose, PACE implements a programme of Integrated Accompanying Measures benefiting PAs, 5FP Projects, Suppliers, and Policy Strategists. PACE seeks to facilitate rapid take-up, implementation, and transfer of technologies and know-how gained in the execution of RTD projects as a way to enhance adoption of e-commerce solutions by PAs. PACE's approach will structure a learning environment that integrates knowledge on trends in technology, the market, work and business practices, and legal, ethical and socio-economic issues, with training, awareness raising, conferences and other dissemination activities. Through this combination PACE aims for sustainability.

OBJECTIVES
The overall objective of the PACE project is to accelerate and expand the European e-commerce market in the arena of Public Administrations, through the implementation of a programme of Integrated Accompanying Measures for the benefit of Public Administrations, 5FP Projects and relevant e-comm. Clusters, Solution Suppliers and Policy Strategists. PACE will generate a learning environment exploiting the synergies of different accompanying actions (studies, dissemination, training and awareness raising activities, working groups, etc.) with a view to creating a sustainable process grounded on Telecities, the largest European network of cities involved in the Information Society. PACE will enhance successful e-commerce development and implementation by providing the necessary consideration for socio-economic issues, including trends in technology, the market, legal and ethical considerations, world-best work and business practices and employment impact (see objectives of CPA1, KAI and KAII).
