ABOUT ICEGOV

ICEGOV stands for International Conference on Theory and Practice of Electronic Governance

It was conceived in 2007 as an annual gathering to bring together academia, governments, international organisations, civil society, and industry to share the latest insights and experiences in the theory and practice of Electronic Governance (now more commonly referred to as Digital Governance). Its first edition (2007, Macau) marked the beginning of a journey that has led ICEGOV and its participants to 16 different cities spread over 15 countries and 6 continents.

Nowadays, the conference is maintained and coordinated by the United Nations University Operating Unit on Policy-Driven Electronic Governance (UNU-EGOV), headquartered in the city of Guimarães, Portugal. A policy-oriented think tank dedicated to Digital Governance and part of the larger United Nations University, the Operating Unit has cemented its role as an international reference of excellence within the UN system and its Member States. It brings together multidisciplinary and multicultural teams around complex problems and emerging challenges, focusing on sustainable development, social inclusion, and active citizenship.
