About<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The 12th International Conference on Theory and Practice of Electronic Governance (ICEGOV2019) took place in Melbourne, Australia, from 3 to 5 April 2019. The conference was held under the high patronage of the Digital Transformation Authority, Australian Government. The Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT University) co-organised ICEGOV2019 with the United Nations University Operating Unit on Policy-Driven Electronic Governance (UNU-EGOV), which is as well the conference series coordinator. The conference organisation was also supported by the following sponsors: Huawei Technologies, Deloitte \/ Hewlett Packard Enterprise, IBM Corporation, and Springer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the theme Exploring Digital Government Synergies to Foster Equality, Inclusiveness, and Productivity<\/em>, ICEGOV2019 explored how existing and emerging digital technologies can be effectively harnessed to foster inclusiveness, equality, and sustainability. It also addressed the implications and costs associated with the use of such technologies. Several tracks on diverse themes were available for paper submission, ranging from broad topics in the field, such as digital transformation, to more specific topics, such as smart cities, security and privacy, open government, digital citizenship or government research and policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ICEGOV2019, much like its past editions , featured a rich programme of Keynote Lectures (6), Plenary Sessions (4), Paper Sessions (12), Invited Sessions (5), Industry Sessions (6), Workshops (6), a Poster Exhibition, and a Doctoral Colloquium, all based on submitted or invited contributions by researchers, experts, policy-makers, and practitioners from around the world. A total of 225 people from 43 different countries attended the conference over its 3-day duration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
