8th European Conference on e-Government

Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne, Switzerland

10-11 July 2008

Conference Chair: Matthias Finger, EPFL, Switzerland

Programme Chair: to be confirmed

Keynote Speaker: to be confirmed

The European Conference on e-Government (ECEG) has become, over the years, the premier place for critically discussing the latest research in matters of electronic government and electronic governance more generally. I am very pleased to host the 8th Annual ECEG Conference at EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale, Lausanne or Swiss Federal institute of Technology) in July 2008, and to contribute to furthering our knowledge in this rapidly evolving field.

Even though less than 40 years old, EPFL is now, as you may know, ranked among the world’s top 30 Universities, leading, among others, in the areas of information and communications. You may also already know EPFL for its global exexcutive master in electronic governance (e-gov). It is a research heavy institution with approximately 6500 students and 20% of them pursuing a PhD. EPFL also has a very nice campus located just outside of Lausanne on lake Geneva with a magnificient view on the Swiss and French alps. Participants to our conference may want to add a day or two for tourism. Lausanne is connected to Geneva airport by a short train ride of 40 minutes, and Geneva airport is one of Europe’s most prominent low cost destinations.

It is a pleasure to welcome you all to EPFL in July 2008.
