<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; "><span style="color: windowtext; "> The annual international IFIP Electronic Government (EGOV) conference is the European core conference in the study domain, which presents the state
of the art in e-government and e-governance organized under the auspices of the IFIP Working Group 8.5 (information systems in public administration). Since its beginnings in 2001, the EGOV conference has provided important guidance for research and development
in this fast-moving domain of study.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><span style="color: windowtext; "> The IFIP EGOV conference brings together leading researchers and professionals from across the globe and from a number of disciplines. Over the years, the interest
in this domain of study has steadily increased. In 2011, along with the co-located IFIP ePart conference on electronic participation, the two conferences attracted more than 160 participants from all continents including developing countries.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><span style="color: windowtext; "> E-government research has demonstrated its relevance to practice and, consequently, has influenced and shaped government strategies and implementations. Conversely,
e-government practice has inspired e-government research. A wide range of topics has received scholarly attention. In recent years, the assessment and evaluation of e-government projects, the foundations of e-government as a research discipline, integration
and interoperation in government, transformation, organizational change, citizens at the center, open data, adoption and diffusion, and the role of information and communication technology for development rank among leading topics on the research agenda.</span></p>
