About

The 3rd International Conference on Theory and Practice of Electronic Governance, ICEGOV2009, was organized in Bogota, Colombia during 10-13 November 2009. The conference took place under the patronage of the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology, Government of Colombia, and was co-organized by: (1) Electronic Governance Programme at United Nations University – International Institute for Software Technology, (2) Observatorio de Sociedad, Gobierno y Tecnologías de Información, Universidad Externado de Colombia, and (3) Programa Gobierno en Línea, Government of Colombia.

The ICEGOV conference series focuses on the use of technology to transform relationships between government and its customers: citizens, businesses, civil society and other arms of government (Electronic Governance), beyond the traditional focus on technology-enabled transformation within government (Electronic Government). After the first two editions, ICEGOV2007 in Macao and ICEGOV2008 in Cairo, ICEGOV2009 helped to further strengthen the features of the ICEGOV conference series as global, multi-stakeholder, networking, research and practice, capacity building, development and UN conferences.

Notably, the conference enjoyed a strong representation from developing and transition countries, with contributions to research and practice of Electronic Governance, and offered a strong capacity- and network-building program with invited talks, invited sessions, tutorials, workshops, panel discussions, round-table discussions, papers sessions, and the demo and poster session. For the first time, the conference featured invited sessions to present experiences and lessons learnt in Electronic Governance development by various government organizations responsible for such development at the national or sub-national levels, as well as three round-table discussions aimed at consensus-building.

It was co-organized by the Agency for Electronic Government and Information Society of Uruguay (AGESIC) and the United Nations University Operating Unit on Policy-Driven Electronic Governance (UNU-EGOV) in collaboration with United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

ICEGOV2016 featured a rich academic, capacity-building and network-building program of keynote lectures, plenary discussions, thematic sessions, invited sessions, a poster exhibition, and a doctoral colloquium, all built from submitted or invited contributions by researchers, experts, policymakers and practitioners from around the world. The conference engaged authors, reviewers, committee members and resource persons from 64 countries and economies.
