18^th European Conference on Digital Government

25th - 26th October 2018, Spain

University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain

Welcome to ECDG 2018

The European Conference on e-Government has been running now for 18 years. This event has been held in Italy, Ireland, Belgium, UK, Slovenia, to mention a few of the countries who have hosted it. This year we are refocusing the conference to look more broadly at the area of Digital Government. The conference is generally attended by participants from more than 40 countries and attracts an interesting combination of academic scholars, public sector workers and individuals who are engaged in various aspects of Digital Government research and application.

The conference will also host the finals of the Digital Government Excellence Awards.

Conference Chair

Programme Chair

As the Conference Chair, I am very much looking forward to welcoming you to Santiago de Compostela for this outstanding conference which will be held at the University of Santiago de Compostela, one of the World’s oldest universities. The conference will be conveniently located at the Faculty of Political and Social Sciences, at Campus Vida (an International Excellence Campus) at the heart of our world heritage city. During your attendance at the conference, we shall also organise tours to the main landmarks of the old town. The city is known worldwide as the final destination of the Way of St. James and since the 9th century it has been a meeting point for different cultures.

We wish you an enjoyable stay with us and we also hope Santiago will be a great place to share the knowledge and trends which are shaping the future of digital government.
