<b>We now call for papers (thesis proposals) to the PhD Colloquim at the EGOV-CeDEM-ePart 2021</b>
<b>conference. </b>The overall aim of the PhD colloquium is to connect PhD students to the e-government research community. Apart from offering feedback on your research question, related work, theory, methods and results, the colloquium also aims to stimulate
reflections on your motivation, research perspective, and future implications of your work on practice and research.

will have completed one or two years of doctoral study or progressed far enough in their research to have a structured proposal idea and some preliminary findings, but have not reached the stage of defending their dissertations. We expect that students at
this stage of study will gain the most value from feedback on their work.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

This year the conference will have a <b>hybrid form</b> in which both <b>online</b> and onsite participation will be possible. The conference fee for onsite and online participation will differ to account for the difference in costs. If circumstances are not
favorable, there will only be an online event.<br>

The conference is organized by the IFIP 8.5 Working group (WG8.5) in collaboration with the Digital Government Society (DGS). The aim of WG 8.5 is to improve the quality of e-government information systems at international, national, regional and local levels.
The WG8.5 special emphasis lays on interdisciplinary approaches towards information systems in public administration. DGS is a global, multi-disciplinary organization of scholars and practitioners interested in the development and impacts of digital government.
The conference covers, but is not limited to, the following topics: </span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
