Tue Sep 7 16:41:44 PDT 2010

G'day !

This may be of interest to some of you. I've attended the last two CeDEM conferences, and have found them throughly enjoyable - and Government 2.0 is now a growing discussion topic and research area in many countries around the world, of course.

> During the last 10 years, the world has focused on social media and
> the new forms of societal behaviour, including content generation,
> collaboration and sharing as well as network organisation. These
> behaviours and expectations, in particular transparency and access
> to data, new ways of interacting with government and democratic
> institutions will continue to develop, and profound changes in
> society are to be expected. Society has been confronted with
> Open Government, Open Data and Open Access. What have
> the experiences been so far? How do these impact society,
> democratic structures and organisations? What changes occur at
> citizen level? What are the implications for democracy, society,
> science and business?

> CFP: IRIS 2011, WORKSHOP: OPEN GOVERNMENT & OPEN ACCESS
> 
> Open Government can change how citizens interact with their own
> government. The Ministers responsible for the eGovernment policy of
> the European Union Member States stated that "there is a growing
> expectation from European citizens and businesses for their
> governments to be more open, flexible and collaborative in their
> delivery of public services across Europe." (Malmö, 2009)
> The use of ICT supports connectedness among citizens and can lead
> to more transparent, collaborative and participative society.
> This new research field includes:
> 
> * Empowerment of citizens: opportunities, problems and challenges;
> * Open government and changes in decision making processes;
> * The impact of transparent government on e-participation;
> * Changes in the G2B relationship;
> * Political and legal issues of open access and open data;
> * Open access and open data licence and format issues.
