Call for applications for the 4th European eGovernment Awards to demonstrate good practices in the European Union Member States, EFTA and Candidate Countries
OBJECTIVES OF THE CALL
The European Commission will present the 4th edition of the prestigious European eGovernment Awards at the 5th EU eGovernment Conference in November 2009. Since their launch in 2003, outstanding practices on the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in various European public sector organisations have been awarded.
The very purpose of these awards is to support the implementation of European eGovernment policy and action plans within the wider framework of Information Society policies and strategies (i2010) and the overall objectives of the Lisbon agenda to promote growth and jobs in the European Union. In this context, the awards play a major role in the European Commission’s good practice exchange initiative in the field of eGovernment.
