on future research areas for ict-enabled governance
DESCRIPTION
The presentation made in the FORSEE foresight workshop for the future in ICT for South Eastern EuropeTRANSCRIPT

Society: increasingly
interconnected, flexible,
fast-evolving,
unpredictable
Governance: often
silos-based, linear,
obscure, hierarchical,
over-simplified
Policies, Disciplines and
Actors are isolated
The Problem: Gap between Society
and Governance
Policies Health R&D Social
Disciplines Economics Mathematics ICT
Actors Government Citizens Industry
"The problems that we have created cannot be solved at the level of thinking
that created them"
Albert Einstein
So ?
More people involved
More accurate and analytical, modeling and simulation tools
More data available

We need a totally different set of tools for evidence-
based decision making by governments
Societal Simulation, Data and Opinion Mining,
New Services Co-creation, will be the next “big
things” for governments that wish to make a
difference
We need to go beyond pure ICT approaches and
embark in a multi-disciplinary journey. That’s
why we need a science base for ICT-enabled
Governance
But most importantly …
eGovernance Research is about our
children’s future:
It is not enough to “do the things right”
… we have to “do the right things”
