eDemocracy and eGovernment

Christian Rupp, Federal Chancellery, Vienna

“ICT in the public sector is like a large vessel”: it requires clear decisions before real movement can be planned. Keys to eGovernment and electronic identity in Austria: smart cards (which have to be activated by the citizen), central register of residence, E-Government webportal help.gv.at, partnerships with municipalities, eDemocracy working group and the CAHDE Tool Box.
