Print Project (html)Summary
The goal of this four-year effort is to create a framework for a sustainable global community of practice among digital government researchers and research sponsors. Funded by the US National Science Foundation Digital Government Research Program, the project includes an international reconnaissance study describing the current status of digital government research, an annual research institute, a framework for several international working groups, and travel support for US investigators and doctoral students to participate actively in international conferences and workshops.
The main components of this project include:
This week-long residential program provides doctoral students from around the world an opportunity to assess the impact of information and communication technologies on the public sector and to understand the value of doing research in an international context.
Three international groups of scholars were chosen to address transnational and comparative issues of governmental processes, organization, decision making, and citizen participation.
This benchmark report provides a baseline against which to measure the future development of internationally-oriented digital government research.
