The international EGOV
conference series gives annual state of the art overviews in eGovernment and
eGovernance research, implementation and application. Thereby, the conferences
provide important guidance for research and development in this fast-moving
domain of study.
The annual EGOV
conferences bring together leading researchers and professionals from all over
the globe and from many disciplines. Over the years, the interest has increased
tremendously. The 2006 conference attracted about 130 participants from 28
countries all over the world including developing countries, with 30
contributions in outstanding research, 30 contributions in ongoing research, 15
projects contributions and 5 workshops. Hence the EGOV Conferences have become
a reunion for academics and professionals as well as an important ground for
networking.
The EGOV
Conference Series hosts four distinct formats of contributions: Scientific
papers (distinguished between completed research and ongoing research); project
presentations, and workshops. These formats encourage scientific rigor and
discussions of state of the art in the study domain, but also welcome
innovative research work in progress, and studies of practical eGovernment
projects and systems implementation.
The conference
also includes a PhD student colloquium providing doctoral students with an
international forum for presenting their work, networking opportunities and
cross-disciplinary inspiration.
Over the years,
organizational and user-related issues long discussed among researchers have
finally gained influence on practice. Conversely, eGovernment practice has
influenced and inspired eGovernment research. A wide range of topics has
received scholarly attention over the years. In recent years, the assessment of
eGovernment efforts, the prospects of eGovernment as a research discipline, and
the role of information and communication technology for development rank among
the top topics on the research agenda. For the sixth series of EGOV
conferences, hence, the list of topics includes the following:

The 3rd EGOV PhD
student colloquium will be held on 2nd and 3rd September in conjunction with
the annual EGOV conference.
The objective of
the Colloquium is to bring together Ph.D. students working on any aspect of
eGovernment (technical, organizational, informational, societal, socio-
technical, research foundations, tools, and applications, or any combination)
from a theoretical or empirical perspective and give them an opportunity to
present and discuss their research in a constructive, and international
atmosphere. The Colloquium will particularly provide an opportunity for student
participants to interact with leading researchers in the field and with the
eGovernment community as a whole. Both the diversity of research avenues and
the interactive setting will provide a unique learning opportunity for all
participants of the colloquium.
A committee of PhD
students guided by advice from two international faculty members will organize
the PhD Colloquium.
Submissions to the
PhD Colloquium should be sent to the PhD program chairs
by email. Paper submission shall follow the same guidelines as those for
general EGOV07 research paper submissions. However, PhD Colloquium submissions
should be marked as such. We will group the PhD submissions in a way that
early-stage and close-to-defence contributions are grouped separately for
presentation and discussion. This will allow for very focused discussion,
comments, and support, which will meet the particular needs of the individual
study phase. Plenary parts will also be organized to support networking among
all students.

PhD papers should
be single-authored and should indicate the name and affiliation of proposer,
abstract (max. 300 words), 3-5 keywords, introduction, research aim, theory,
method, results achieved and/or prospective results, references.
Since the number
of participants is limited, the proposals will be critically reviewed by the
organising committee for rigor, quality and relevance. Students may come from
any discipline relevant to eGovernment research and practice. There will be a
best contribution award.
