Dear Colleague,
Over the past year, 21 workshops were held around the world to explore the future research agenda for e-government. These events were part of a project sponsored by the European Commission (EC), called eGovRTD2020 (www.egovrtd2020.org), which is attempting to:
- envision scenarios for society and government in the year 2020,
- identify gaps in current knowledge and capability,
- and develop key themes for future research.
The international project team has developed 13 research themes which are now the topic of a short survey. The results will be used by the EC (and shared with the US National Science Foundation and other research sponsors) to help shape future investments in e-government research. As an expert involved with e-government research or management, your opinion is very important in this final phase.
The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete. It asks for your opinion about the importance of each of these 13 research themes. Your responses are completely confidential. If you wish to receive a copy of the survey results your email address will be collected at the end of the survey, but it will not be associated with your answers.
Please participate in the survey by going to

Thank you very much for your contribution,
Maria Wimmer (Project coordinator) and Sharon Dawes (US project partner)
