Making technology transfer successful between the Eastern European countries and Western Europe has become a crucial point. For this goal, the Eastern European e|Gov Days - now already in their third year - have become a pivotal platform. The events have been organised by Forum e|Government of the Austrian Computer Society in cooperation with partners. The former Eastern European e|Gov Days took place in Budapest, the 2006 Eastern European e|Gov Days will take place in Prague.

The urgency of building good e- government solutions is obvious; it is a demand coming from the citizens, from businesses as well as from the European Union, where e-government is seen as a major vehicle for integration. Thus, a logical consequence is having a communication platform, where best practice is exchanged - a role the Eastern European e|Gov Days will play again in 2006.

In addition the Prague event will have a PhD Colloquium to broaden the research potential and to motivate young researchers from Eastern and Western Europe to exchange their thesis works and to discuss with experts from the field. PhD students in the various fields of eGovernment and eParticipation are encouraged to submit their thesis works.
