E-governance in the Danube Region - Center of Excellence in Finance

A lively debate developed at the conference Reinforcement of e-Governance in the Danube Region in Ljubljana about achievements and crucial accelerators of transformation towards e-government and e-governance. The main message from the conference speakers and participants was: “Recycle and share, collaborate and coordinate.”

EU Strategy for the Danube Region can be a roof under which cross-sectoral, cross-border, synergetic policy making and exchange of practice can take place. Success in e-government is not limited to the richer countries as is the case in the Danube region where we have champions in e-government and we have countries that have infrastructure in place, but need to develop more services and content.
