Conference for 2003 (organized by the European Commission
and the Italian Presidency),Villa Erba, Como, 7-8 July
2003. We are including this special section devoted to “eGovernment” in
Issue 8 due to the great importance of the European eGovernment
Conference. This may be the most significant event in Europe
on eGovernment. Participants discussed "how technology
can help to provide more inclusive and personalized services
and increase the productivity and accountability of public
administrations". The conference identified three main
topics: the “role of eGovernment for European competitiveness”;
the “goal of a better life for European citizens”; and “Central
and Local Government eCooperation”. Furthermore, pursuant
to the European Commission and the European Council's intent
to encourage the development of eGovernment in Europe by
showcasing the current best practices and the practical
advantages they offer, some 66 providers of on-line services
(from a field of nearly 360 proposals) were selected by
a team of independent experts and invited to exhibit. The
most outstanding examples of best practice in this field
have received the "eEurope Award for Innovation in eGovernment" and
we have selected some of them for publication (see the
conference web site). We are delighted to have conference papers
by Christine Leitner, Senior Lecturer at EIPA and
Head of the eEurope Awards Project Management Secretariat; Charles
