Reflections on the eGovRTD2020 roadmap for e-government research
The eGovRTD2020 project was funded within the 6th Framework Program of the EC. It aimed at developing a research roadmap for e-government based on visionary scenarios sketching potential futures of how Governments, society and the business sector might interact in 2020 thereby using advanced ICT. The project has recently published its final results. In this contribution, these results are summarized and reflected. The project performed an online survey among international experts to assess the importance of the thirteen research themes developed throughout the project. Results show that there are differences in the perception of the importance of a research theme in terms of geographical regions, level of development and stakeholder groups. Based on this discussion, further reflections address the needs and forms of action for fostering and implementing e-government research in the near future.
