eGovernment TrendsWatch

TrendsWatch aims to provide a central information point on the wide range of eGovernment research activities being carried out across Europe, including those not funded by the EU. Sharing information more widely will improve the promotion of research results and speed up their implementation.

The TrendsWatch site is closely linked to the study on Bringing together and accelerating eGovernment research in EU, which combines the research, good practice and policy viewpoints. The study team is working to identify gaps in current plans for implementing eGovernment and propose solutions. The TrendsWatch website can serve as a focal point for information on eGovernment research projects and activities. As the study progresses, we aim to provide regular updates along with new related information.
