Track 12: Early Research Track

The conference welcomes submissions of short papers describing early research or ongoing work, presenting new project ideas, initial results, open questions, and development plans, among others. The paper should address emerging challenges, innovative methodologies, or critical gaps in Digital Governance research and practice. Papers accepted for this Track will be presented at Paper Sessions and published in the conference proceedings.

Additionally, the authors will be invited to develop an A1-sized poster to be displayed permanently during the conference for all participants. This will stimulate discussion, create connections between research and practice, and research and policy, provide feedback to the authors, and nourish opportunities for international, multidisciplinary, and cross-sectoral collaboration. Submissions presenting pilot studies, initial empirical findings, or early real-world applications are particularly welcome, as they can help stimulate discussion and support collaboration across disciplines and sectors.
