Introduction

According to OECD, Finland is No. 1 in e-government. This visit will show you why and it focuses on latest developments. The Study Trip will start with a visit to the Prime Minister’s Office to explore the Finnish programme on information society. The Trip includes presentations on a range of highly innovative projects, involving public sector organizations, private firms and NGOs in Tampere, which is the “e-government city” in Finland. Participants will also have the chance to attend the European Conference on Public Sector Quality, which takes place immediately after the Study Trip.

Description

The key issues to be explored on this study trip will be:

How to develop the programme for the information society;
How to overcome the digital divide;
How to secure public service delivery in rural areas with e-government;
How to join-up public service delivery with e-government;
How to develop and implement a strategy for e-government, not just a set of separate initiatives.
