7. - 8. September 2009

Ort: University of Economics and Business Administration, Vienna

There are a number of eDemocracy applications, ranging from transparency sites and information, discussion, deliberation and consultation platforms to decision-making and voting systems, thus encompassing the entire democratic process. As technical devices have matured and feasibility is largely not considered an issue any more, other questions are now considered:

• To what extent can eDemocracy support and enrich our democracy
• What and where are the interfaces, what methods can be used to integrate eParticipation in present public administration processes?
• How can we ensure that the greatest number of people are reached and are able to use the means of participation?
• How can the modern media support political education?
• How can the Internet increase participation in political discussion?
• What are the limitations and the risks of eDemocracy?
• How may traditional Decision Support Systems be included in the eDemocracy framework?
• How may microeconomic models (eg, game theory) contribute to the understanding of the dynamics created by electronic citizen involvement?

EDem 2009 presents the unique opportunity to look into these questions and discuss the answers. During the conference experiences will be shared, examples of good (and maybe not so good) practice analysed, the State-of-the-Art and future scenarios will be presented and discussed.

The main conference language is English.
